Every Huit Blanc is one of a kind. Your strap and case should let it look the part on the wrist. The Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop “Huit Blanc” is the white reference with eight individually-colored bezel screws assembled in a random order — roughly three million possible combinations, which means no two are exactly alike. The Helvetus Royal Pop strap and case set lets that uniqueness live on the wrist rather than on a lanyard.

The strap and case system the Royal Pop was missing

The Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop was designed as a Bioceramic pocket watch — carried on a calfskin lanyard or clipped to a bag. Swatch did not include a wrist strap. We did. The Helvetus Royal Pop strap and case set converts the pocket watch into a fully wearable wristwatch in seconds: pop your Royal Pop out of its original chassis, click it into our precision-fit case, attach the strap, and you are wearing the Royal Oak silhouette on your wrist for the first time.

Built by the Royal Oak strap specialists

Helvetus has been engineering aftermarket straps for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak family for years — Royal Oak 39, Royal Oak 41, Offshore 42, Offshore 44, and the Offshore Diver. No other strap brand offers a deeper Royal Oak compatible range. The Royal Pop strap and case set is a direct extension of that work, engineered around the exact 40 mm octagonal Bioceramic case head (8.4 mm thick) so the strap sits flush against the case, the case sits flush against the watch, and the exhibition caseback — the decorated hand-wound SISTEM51 movement — stays fully on show.

Made for Huit Blanc

French for “eight white,” the Huit Blanc (Ref. SSX03W100N) is arguably the most photographed reference in the collection. Its rainbow screw detail is the centerpiece of the watch — our case is finished to let those eight colors do the talking, and our strap palette offers everything from clean off-white to bold pop-art colors that pick up one of the screws. As a Lépine reference with the crown at 12 o’clock, the case rotates the watch head so the crown sits naturally on the wrist.

The strap — premium FKM rubber, stainless steel buckle

The Helvetus Royal Pop strap is cut from premium FKM rubber — the same compound we use across our Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe strap range. FKM is the gold standard for luxury watch straps: it does not discolor, does not crack, repels water and sweat, and stays comfortable from the first wear. The strap terminates in a brushed stainless steel buckle, available in your choice of finish, and is engineered so the lug-end geometry mates cleanly with the Royal Pop case — no gap between strap and case, no awkward break in the line, no compromise on the Royal Oak silhouette.

Non-destructive, fully reversible

No drilling, no modification, no permanent change to the watch. The case clicks around the original Bioceramic case head and the strap clips into the case — both can be removed in seconds, returning your Royal Pop to its original pocket-watch configuration whenever you want.
