Specs
The Royal Pop, by the numbers.
Every measurement, material and detail you need before buying a strap, case or bracelet for the Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop.
Critical for strap buyers
The Royal Pop has no traditional lugs and no spring bars. The 40mm watch head clips into a coloured Bioceramic frame; the frame carries the strap (or lanyard) on its underside. Every aftermarket wrist conversion is really a replacement frame that wraps the case head and exposes a 20–22mm spring-bar interface on the outside. Generic 20mm watch straps won't attach to the watch directly — they need to mount to a compatible frame first.
