Swatch Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop 'Orenji Hachi'

The Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop 'Orenji Hachi' takes its name from the Japanese for "Orange Eight" — a nod to the eight hexagonal screws that have defined the Royal Oak since 1972. Released on 16 May 2026 as part of the most talked-about Swiss collaboration of the year, this Lépine-style pocket watch (Ref. SSX03L103N) brings haute horlogerie cues to the playful, wear-it-anywhere format of Swatch's iconic Pop. Design A deep navy Bioceramic case and octagonal bezel set the tone, contrasted by eight bright orange hexagonal screws and orange accents that ripple across the navy Petite Tapisserie dial. Vertical satin finishing on the bezel and caseback nods directly to AP's Royal Oak codes, while Grade A Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers keeps it legible after dark.
