Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop Savonette Làn Ba
THE JOURNEY
Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop Savonette 'Làn Ba' turns the idea of a classic savonette pocket watch into a contemporary way to wear time. Named after the Vietnamese phrase for “third wave”, this variation brings Audemars Piguet’s 1972 Royal Oak codes together with Swatch’s 1990s Pop sensibility. On the matte Bioceramic case, the spring-loaded cover, octagonal bezel and hexagonal screw details make that reference clear. The fumé blue dial with its Petite Tapisserie pattern adds a quiet sense of depth. The 41 mm case and 12.5 mm profile keep it balanced whether carried in a pocket or worn around the neck. A stainless steel inner structure adds solidity, while the Swiss Made quartz movement keeps daily use dependable. 3 bar water resistance is enough for the rhythm of the city. The case detaches from the strap and can be fitted to the Bioceramic chain or silicone lanyard included in the box, moving between wristwatch, pocket watch and pendant. With Swatch limiting distribution to selected stores, SSX03L100N remains hard to access in Turkey and is offered at sutore after authenticity checks. Làn Ba feels like the Royal Pop series at its most mature.
