Monocoque — Royal Pop Wrist Case & Straps

The AP × Swatch Royal Pop is the most talked-about collaboration of 2026 — but it ships as a pocket watch. The Monocoque Collection is how you wear it.

The Monocoque is our flagship wrist system for the Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop. Designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom by MGB Watches, the case is machined from aerograde aluminium and secures the Royal Pop using a proprietary clipping mechanism engineered specifically for the safety and stability of the watch. The result is a wrist case finished to the standard the AP × Swatch collaboration deserves — and a system you can build into your own collection with interchangeable straps.

Whether you secured the Royal Pop pocket watch in store, picked one up on the secondary market, or are still chasing one, the Monocoque Collection lets you wear it the way it deserves to be worn — on the wrist, every day, finished to the standard you'd expect of an Audemars Piguet × Swatch piece.

Very quick delivery and lovely colour…

Very quick delivery and lovely colour options. The straps are incredibly easy to switch with a lovely easy release and lock mechanism built into the strap which lets me change the strap in about 20 seconds. Thanks again

Great customer service from start to finish

Here’s a polished version that keeps it genuine and natural: I purchased a new watch as a gift as part of a special bundle offer which included extra straps. I wasn’t keen on the straps originally included, so they kindly swapped them for alternatives at the same price. The person I dealt with over WhatsApp couldn’t have been more helpful. They say you can really judge a company by how they deal with issues, and MGB Watches were excellent. One of the straps that arrived was slightly too big, probably my fault for changing things around, but they had the correct size sent out the very next day. A perfect example of great customer service. I’ll definitely be back.
