Straps for Audemars Piguet x Swatch
Welcome to the home of Audemars Piguet x Swatch straps. Every band, case and accessory we make for the Royal Pop collaboration is gathered here — start with the Straps by Royal Pop range to shop by model, or read on to find the material, colour and style that suits how you wear the boldest Swatch collaboration yet.
Audemars Piguet x Swatch: the collaboration, briefly
After the MoonSwatch reinvented the Speedmaster and the Scuba Fifty Fathoms reimagined Blancpain's dive legend, the third act paired Swatch with Audemars Piguet — and the Royal Pop was born. Its octagonal bezel, visible screws and Tapisserie-textured dial carry the design language of one of the most recognisable luxury sports watches in the world, rebuilt in bioceramic and released in 8 pop-art colourways: Ocho Negro, Huit Blanc, Otto Rosso, Green Eight, Làn Ba, Blaue Acht, Otg Roz and Orenji Hachi. A watch this expressive was always going to invite personalisation, and that's exactly what our Audemars Piguet x Swatch straps are for.
Why swap the strap on your Royal Pop?
Three reasons come up again and again. Style, first: the original band is fine, but a colour-matched or deliberately contrasting strap transforms the watch's character in seconds — one Royal Pop becomes five. Protection, second: our strap-and-case sets wrap the bioceramic body against knocks, and a swapped strap saves the original from daily wear, preserving the watch's collector value. Comfort, third: different materials suit different wrists and days, and having a rotation means the watch always feels right. A strap costs a fraction of the watch and changes almost everything about how it wears.
Choose your Audemars Piguet x Swatch strap by material
Rubber: the everyday choice
Soft, waterproof and shock-absorbing, rubber is the Royal Pop's daily uniform. Our rubber sets pair a strap with a protective case in combinations matched to every dial — from Ocho Negro black-on-black to Orenji Hachi's navy and orange. If your watch goes where you go, start with the AP x Swatch rubber straps.
Ceramic: the luxury upgrade
Polished ceramic links with a stainless-steel deployant clasp bring the Royal Pop as close as it gets to a true luxury bracelet: the Royal Pop ceramic strap is scratch-resistant, fade-proof and beautifully weighted, with fifteen shades covering every model in the line — the dress option of the range.

Find the strap for your Royal Pop model
Every model has its own colour logic, and the right strap leans into it — or breaks it on purpose:
- Ocho Negro — the understated one. Black rubber keeps it stealthy; a white ceramic bracelet flips it into high contrast.
- Huit Blanc — the clean one. White-on-white is crisp; black or orange accents wake it up.
- Otto Rosso — the passionate one. Reds and pinks, solid or two-tone, keep the Italian temperament.
- Green Eight — the collector's favourite. Green rubber matches the dial; black-green two-tones add depth.
- Làn Ba — the maritime one. From bright blue to deep navy, tone-on-tone always works.
- Blaue Acht — the soft one. Mint, light blue and cream pairings suit its pastel dial.
- Otg Roz — the loudest of the eight. Pink, turquoise and yellow straps take it further still.
- Orenji Hachi — the high-contrast one. Navy and orange combinations mirror the dial's energy.
There's no wrong answer — all our straps share the same Royal Pop fitting, so an Otg Roz pink band clicks onto a Green Eight just as happily.
How to choose: three questions
Where does the watch live? Desk and dinners point to ceramic; gym, beach and travel point to rubber. Tone-on-tone or contrast? Matching the dial reads factory-finished; contrasting reads personal. One strap or a rotation? Most owners end up with two or three — the fitting system makes swapping a under-a-minute job, so a small strap wardrobe effectively multiplies your watch.
Protect the watch, not just the look
Personalisation and protection go together here. The strap-and-case sets shield the bioceramic body from knocks, and our 9H tempered glass screen protector guards the crystal against scratches — edge-to-edge, invisible once fitted, and cut for the octagonal bezel. A protected Royal Pop is a Royal Pop that keeps its value; the original parts stay mint in the drawer while the watch lives its life.
Fitting and sizing, at home
No watchmaker, no special skills. Rest the watch dial-down on a soft cloth, release the original band, click the new strap into the lugs, and check with a gentle tug. Rubber sets install in a couple of minutes; the ceramic bracelet includes a link-adjustment tool so you can size it to your wrist at the kitchen table. Every strap is cut to the Royal Pop's exact case geometry — flush fit, no gaps, no play.
Caring for your straps
Rubber: rinse in warm soapy water after sea or pool, air-dry out of direct sun. Ceramic: wipe with a soft damp cloth and it regains its gloss — just spare it hard knocks against stone or steel. Both materials are hypoallergenic and colour-fast, so they stay comfortable and vivid for years with essentially zero effort.
