Description
The Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop ‘Ocho Negro’ (SSX03W101N) is a black Bioceramic pocket watch from the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop collection. It released on 16 May 2026 as one of eight Royal Pop references, and its name is Spanish for ‘black eight’, a reference to the octagonal Royal Oak bezel.
Overview
Royal Pop combines the design codes of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with the pop-out spirit of Swatch’s POP line. Each of the eight references is named for the number eight in a different language, and the Ocho Negro is the black version.
The 40mm case measures 8.4mm thick and is made from Bioceramic, which Swatch describes as two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced material from castor oil. It carries an octagonal bezel with eight hexagonal screws and a tapisserie dial. The Ocho Negro is a Lépine model with the crown at 12 o’clock and an hours and minutes display. Inside is a new hand-wound Sistem51 calibre without a central screw, with a Nivachron balance spring and a 90-hour power reserve visible through the sapphire case back.
The Royal Pop Ocho Negro wears on its calfskin lanyard around the neck or carries in a pocket. It suits collectors of both Audemars Piguet and Swatch, and fans of the Royal Oak.
