{"product_id":"huit-blanc-ap-x-swatch-royal-pop-watch","title":"AP x Swatch Royal Pop Watch - HUIT BLANC","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Huit Blanc is the French-named Lépine in the Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop collection. White Bioceramic case, white tapisserie dial, white crown at 12, eight hex screws assembled in a unique random colour configuration. The most personalisable variant in the launch. Reference SSX03W100N.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSourced direct from authorised Swatch retail on launch day, 16 May 2026. Documented and photographed in our UK studio before shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Huit Blanc is the variant where Swatch built individuality into the architecture. Each Huit Blanc ships with eight hex screws assembled in a random colour order, with three million possible combinations across the production run. No two Huit Blancs are identical. The screw colours are drawn from the wider Royal Pop palette - black, lime green, pink, cherry red, light blue, deep blue, orange, and more - so each Huit Blanc carries fragments of every other variant in its hex screw configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe white Bioceramic case is the canvas that makes the colour configuration the focus. Where other Royal Pop variants build their identity through dial colour, bezel contrast, or signature accent, the Huit Blanc commits fully to a white foundation and lets the eight randomised hex screws carry the entire colour story. From a distance the watch reads as monochromatic white. Up close, every screw becomes a small point of interest. Your specific configuration becomes the watch's identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe naming reflects the variant's role in the collection. Huit means eight in French, Blanc means white. The most universal of the eight Lépines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eManual-wind SISTEM51 movement (built specifically for the Royal Pop collaboration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e51 components, 15 active patents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e90-hour power reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNivachron anti-magnetic balance spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBioceramic case (Lépine, crown at 12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWhite case, white tapisserie dial, white crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEight hex screws in a unique random colour configuration (three million possible combinations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVisible movement through sapphire caseback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIntegrated white calfskin lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOriginal Swatch packaging and warranty card included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear your Huit Blanc on the wrist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Royal Pop ships as a pocket watch by design. The Monocoque is our British-engineered aerospace aluminium wrist case for the Huit Blanc. Milled from a single block of 7075 aluminium at a precision engineering facility in Bicester, Oxfordshire. The same facility produces components for Formula 1, MotoGP, and aerospace clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Silver Aluminium Monocoque case is the clean foundation that lets the white watch and its multi-colour hex screws read as the visual focus. The Black Aluminium case provides the high-contrast frame that makes both the white watch face and the coloured hex screws stand out across the wrist. Either option preserves the Huit Blanc's defining feature: the visual centrepiece of your specific hex screw configuration. Five aerospace-grade aluminium case colours. Twelve FKM strap colours. Sixty possible combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mgbwatches.com\/products\/huit-blanc-royal-pop-strap-the-monocoque\" title=\"Huit Blanc Royal Pop Strap: The Monocoque\"\u003eShop the Huit Blanc Royal Pop Monocoque →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout MGB Watches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMGB Watches predicted the Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop collaboration in January 2024.
