Swatch x Audemars Piguet presents the Bioceramic Royal Pop collection, featuring eight mechanical pocket watches inspired by the Royal Oak model and the Swatch POP line from the 1980s. The collection includes the Ocho Negro, Huit Blanc, Otto Rosso, Green Eight, Otg Roz, Lan Ba, Orenji Hachi, and Blaue Acht models. The individual versions differ in color schemes and feature either a Lépine or Savonnette design.
Royal Pop combines the distinctive elements of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches with the modular approach known from Swatch’s archival POP line. The octagonal shape, eight visible screws, and dial pattern reference the Royal Oak design, while the vibrant colors and the ability to detach the watch from its strap bring out the more casual character of the Swatch design.
These are not classic wristwatches. Each Royal Pop takes the form of a pocket watch attached to a removable lanyard. The modular design allows it to be worn in various ways or placed in accessories designed for the collection.
The collection consists of eight models whose names combine a color term with the word “eight” written in various languages. The collection includes the black “Ocho Negro,” the white “Huit Blanc,” the red “Otto Rosso,” the green “Green Eight,” the pink “Otg Roz,” the blue “Lan Ba,” the navy-and-orange “Orenji Hachi,” and the light blue “Blaue Acht.”
Most variants feature a Lépine design with the crown positioned at the 12 o’clock position. The Otg Roz and Lan Ba models use the Savonnette layout, in which the crown is located on the side of the case. This difference affects the arrangement of the dial elements and how the watch sits on the wrist.
The cases of the Royal Pop watches are made of Bioceramic, a material developed by Swatch. The composite consists of two-thirds ceramic and one-third bio-based material derived from castor oil. Its surface has a matte, smooth finish characteristic of Swatch’s contemporary collections.
Inside is the manual-winding SISTEM51 mechanical movement. It was developed specifically for this collaboration and offers approximately 90 hours of power reserve. The components visible through the case back are complemented by pop-art-inspired decorations.
It’s best to choose a model based on its color scheme and design. The Lépine versions feature a more classic pocket watch layout with the crown at the top, while the Savonnette models feature a side-mounted crown and a different dial layout.
All models belong to the same collection and feature Bioceramic and the hand-wound SISTEM51 movement. The differences primarily concern the colors of the case, dial, strap, movement details, and crown placement.
