WE ARE STRAPMAKERS

At Wristbuddys, we have never been interested in following trends. We would rather set them. When we first introduced our take on the rubber strap, we were among the early voices arguing that this category could be far more than what the industry had settled for.

We make premium watch straps, but we also want the work we do to leave the world a little better than we found it. That belief is what led us to create Feed a Buddy, an initiative built together with our community to take on one of the most urgent challenges there is. Hunger.

The version that ends up on your wrist looks effortless, and that is exactly the point, but the path to that effortless feel runs through a long and deliberate process where nothing is left to chance.

When two of the watch world’s most unexpected names come together, questions naturally follow. This year, all eyes are on Audemars Piguet and Swatch, whose new Royal Pop collection has already sparked rumors, speculation, and anticipation ahead of launch. But there’s one detail many have overlooked: Royal Pop was never designed as a traditional wristwatch. That's why we're building a dedicated lineup of Royal Pop straps, engineered around the watch's exact proportions. From Pocket Watch To Everyday Wear The Royal Pop is shaping up to be one of the most unexpected watch releases of the year. The collection features eight bold designs inspired by the iconic Royal Oak aesthetic, but presented in a format that leans more toward pocket watches than conventional sports watches. Out of the box, Royal Pop comes with a calfskin lanyard designed for wearing around the neck, carrying in a pocket, or attaching to a bag. What it doesn’t include is a dedicated wrist solution. That’s where third-party alternatives become interesting. Many collectors will likely want to wear their Royal Pop as an everyday watch rather than keeping it as a display piece or occasional accessory. We are therefore developing dedicated straps engineered specifically around the watch’s unique proportions and case design. A Dedicated Strap For Every Model In The Collection We will develop individual strap options are currently being developed for all eight Royal  Pop references: Otto Rosso: Deep red tones naturally pair well with dark leather or textured finishes for a more classic look. Huit Blanc: The lighter model could work particularly well with grey tones or contrasting white stitching. Green Eight: Green colorways and rubber straps have historically been a strong combination for a more sporty appearance. Blaue Acht: Dark blue tones offer flexibility and work equally well with navy or black strap options. Làn Ba: More experimental colors open possibilities for tone-on-tone combinations or bolder contrasts. OTG Roz: Pink shades may become surprisingly versatile when paired with neutral strap colors. Ocho Negro: The black model offers maximum flexibility and works with almost anything. Orenji Hachi: Orange accents often pair best with darker straps that allow the watch itself to remain the focal point. Why Straps Could Be Essential For Royal Pop Historically, unconventional watch designs have often found a second life through alternative ways of being worn. The same may apply here. Without a wrist option, Royal Pop risks becoming a collector’s piece that spends more time in storage than in use. The right strap changes that completely. A dedicated strap transforms how, and how often, the watch is actually worn. Want To Wear Your Royal Pop On The Wrist From Day One? We are currently developing dedicated straps for the entire Royal Pop collection, specifically designed to complement the watches’ unique case geometry and bold aesthetic. By signing up now, you’ll be among the first to know when each model goes live, before the first batches risk selling out. For many collectors, the Royal Pop could become one of the most talked-about releases of the year. The only question is whether it stays in your pocket, hangs around your neck, or earns a place on your wrist. When Will The Royal Pop Straps Launch? Development is already underway, with dedicated solutions being created for every Royal Pop model. Pricing will be confirmed closer to launch, and collectors can register their interest now to receive notifications the moment each strap becomes available. One thing already seems clear: if AP x Swatch becomes one of the year’s most discussed releases, the ability to actually wear the watch on your wrist may prove just as important as the watch itself.

There is a quiet detail in the announcement of the Royal Pop that almost nobody is talking about, and it is the reason this collaboration matters more than the MoonSwatch ever did. Audemars Piguet has never licensed the Royal Oak silhouette to anyone. Not to Travis Scott, not to Marvel, not to any of the long list of partners AP has worked with over the past two decades. Those projects all stayed inside AP's own factory walls, made on AP machinery, sold at AP prices. On May 16, 2026, that changes. For the first time in the watch's 54 year history, the Royal Oak's design language walks out the front door of Le Brassus and lands in a Swatch boutique. That is the Royal Pop. And once you see it that way, everything else about this collaboration starts to make sense. Latest updates We are tracking the Royal Pop launch live and updating this page as new details are confirmed. Most recent updates first. May 12, 2026 — Royal Pop officially revealed Swatch and Audemars Piguet ended the speculation. Royal Pop is not a wristwatch. It is a collection of eight Bioceramic pocket watches with a new hand-wound SISTEM51 movement, designed to be worn on a lanyard, clipped to a bag, or kept in a pocket. The collection launches on May 16, 2026 at selected Swatch boutiques worldwide, with a limit of one watch per person, per store, per day. Swatch is not offering a wristwatch strap system for Royal Pop. We are developing dedicated straps for every model in the collection so the case can be worn on the wrist. See the full lineup and join the notify list for Royal Pop straps. Wristbuddys is an independent brand and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Swatch or Audemars Piguet. The eight models: Otto Rosso (Lépine) Huit Blanc (Lépine) Green Eight (Lépine) Blaue Acht (Lépine) Orenji Hachi (Lépine) Ocho Negro (Lépine) Làn Ba (Savonnette) Otg Roz (Savonnette) The two case styles split the collection. Lépine places the crown at 12 with a clean hours and minutes display, while Savonnette moves the crown to 3 and adds a small seconds sub dial. At the heart of every piece is a new hand-wound version of SISTEM51, the first of its kind, incorporating 15 active patents. It delivers over 90 hours of power reserve, runs on an anti-magnetic Nivachron balance spring, and is precision-adjusted with lasers directly at the factory. The design pulls heavily from the Royal Oak. Each octagonal Bioceramic case carries eight hexagonal screws, vertical satin finishing on the bezel and caseback, and the signature "Petite Tapisserie" pattern on the dial. Super-LumiNova Grade A sits on the hands and markers, and two sapphire crystals frame the case front and back. Every watch ships with a calfskin lanyard with contrast stitching, designed to be worn around the neck, slipped into a pocket, or clipped to a bag. Swatch offers three lanyard lengths, plus additional lanyards and Bioceramic clip holders sold online at swatch.com. The collection draws its inspiration from two sources: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Pocket Watch (ref. 5691) and the Swatch POP line from the 1980s. Audemars Piguet has also confirmed it will donate 100% of its proceeds to an initiative supporting the preservation and transmission of watchmaking savoir-faire.

Swatch and Audemars Piguet have officially confirmed the collaboration but have not yet released pricing, the full participating store list, or images of the final product. The official Swatch reel from May 9 showed close up footage of an unusual movement architecture, hinting at something more sophisticated than the standard Sistem51. We are watching for the official store list and price drop, which Swatch typically publishes 48 to 72 hours before launch. May 8, 2026. The collaboration is officially confirmed Swatch posted to Instagram with Audemars Piguet tagged. Caption: "Introducing Audemars Piguet x Swatch, a disruptive collaboration that fuses joyful boldness and positive provocation with the art of haute horlogerie. Two Swiss icons come together to reimagine a complete new way to wear time and bring future generations to the world of mechanical watches." Launch date confirmed for Saturday, May 16, 2026. Visa detta inlägg på Instagram Ett inlägg delat av Swatch (@swatch) What is actually confirmed Let us start with the small list of things we know for certain, because most of the internet is already three steps ahead of the facts. The watch is called the Royal Pop. It launches Saturday, May 16, 2026. It will be mechanical. And it is being framed, in the brands' own words, as a new way to wear time. That is everything that is officially on the table. Pricing, dimensions, store list, colour variants, movement specifications, the answer to whether this is even a wristwatch in the traditional sense, none of it is confirmed. Anyone telling you otherwise is reading the same teaser videos as the rest of us. How the rumour became real The first signal came in mid April, when Swatch published a cryptic message on its own website while the watch press was distracted by Watches and Wonders. Then a series of teaser ads appeared in the Guardian and other major newspapers, accompanied by Instagram reels showing coloured lanyards drifting across a black screen. A few days later came the first piece of hard evidence. The Italian Watch Spotter dug up a trademark filing showing that Swatch AG had registered the name "Royal Pop" with the World Intellectual Property Organization on June 18, 2024. International class 14, the trademark category for watches and jewellery. Companies do not register trademarks they do not intend to use. Swatch had been planning this for at least eighteen months. The teasers escalated through early May. A reel showing the word "Royal" rendered in the unmistakable font of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. A second reel pairing it with "Pop", the letters overlapping in a way that quietly mirrors how AP's own logo overlaps the O and A in Oak. By the time Swatch and AP confirmed the collaboration on May 8, the watch community had already cracked the code. The story behind the door is even more interesting. When the MoonSwatch launched in 2022, then AP CEO François Henry Bennahmias publicly praised the project, calling it one of the smartest things the conservative Swiss watch industry had done in years. A year later, when Swatch released the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms with Blancpain, the official Audemars Piguet Instagram account left a comment on Swatch's launch post. Two words: "when do we launch?" At the time, everyone treated it as a joke. It was not a joke. It was a public handshake. Why this is genuinely different from the MoonSwatch Here is the part people keep missing. The MoonSwatch in 2022 was a Swatch Group project. Omega is owned by the Swatch Group. The Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms in 2023 was the same story. Blancpain is also a Swatch Group brand. Both of those collaborations were, in corporate terms, a single company making a watch with itself. Easy approvals, easy logistics, easy alignment. Audemars Piguet is not in the Swatch Group. AP is independent, family controlled, and one of the so called Holy Trinity of Swiss watchmaking alongside Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. The Royal Oak, drawn by Gérald Genta in a single night in 1971, has been one of the most carefully managed designs in luxury watchmaking for half a century. AP almost never lets it leave the building. The fact that two of the most powerful and culturally distinct watchmaking houses in Switzerland have figured out how to actually launch a product together is, on its own, the story of the year. It is more politically complex than any Swatch collaboration before it. It is also why the Royal Pop has more pre launch heat than the MoonSwatch had at the same point in its cycle. What the Royal Pop probably is, and what it probably is not This is where the careful reader has to start separating signal from noise, because everyone has a theory and most of them cannot all be right. The dominant assumption among watch publications is that the Royal Pop will not be a wristwatch in the traditional sense. The teaser campaign keeps coming back to lanyards. Lanyards in eight colours. Coloured cords drifting like jewellery. A comic book "Clac!" sound effect, the audible click of a clasp. None of that points to a 41mm wristwatch on a strap. What it does point to is the original 1986 Pop Swatch. If you are too young to remember, the Pop Swatch was a 1980s phenomenon: a Swatch where the dial popped out of its fabric strap so you could clip it onto a backpack, a denim jacket, or hang it around your neck on a colourful cord. Swatch sold millions of them. The line was revived in a smaller size in 2022. The "Pop" in Royal Pop almost certainly refers to that lineage, not just to pop art. The most credible reading of the teaser campaign is therefore a 2 in 1 modular design: a Royal Oak inspired case that pops in and out of either a wrist strap or a lanyard, letting the wearer carry it as a wristwatch, a pendant, or a clip on. That interpretation matches the lanyards, the "complete new way to wear time" framing, and the fact that AP is committing the Royal Oak's design language to something this experimental. There is one more rumour worth flagging. The most recent Swatch reel, released alongside the official announcement, shows a movement with a distinctly unusual rotor architecture. Watch enthusiast Haoming Wang has speculated this could be a new "Sistem49" calibre, or a modified Sistem51 with no central rotor and no central screw. A peripheral rotor, like the one AP uses in its high end Calibre 8100, would be a clear nod to AP's actual mechanical heritage and would let the watch sit thinner. None of this is confirmed. But the movement clearly is not the standard Sistem51 the MoonSwatch and Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms run on, which already tells you Swatch is pushing harder this time. What to expect on May 16 If you are planning to buy one, the playbook is the same one Swatch has run twice before, and there is no reason to expect it to change. In store only, at participating Swatch boutiques worldwide. No online sales at launch. Limited initial stock. Queues that start before sunrise at the bigger flagship locations. Resale listings appearing on eBay and Chrono24 within hours, at multiples of retail. Swatch typically publishes the participating store list and the final price 48 to 72 hours before launch, which means we should expect that information to land between Wednesday and Friday next week. Three small pieces of advice, learned from the MoonSwatch queue and the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms scrum that followed it. Pick a quieter store. Smaller cities and secondary boutiques almost always have less competition than the flagship locations in London, New York, Tokyo, and Paris. Check the Swatch store locator the moment the participating list goes live. Get there early. If the MoonSwatch queues are any indication, overnight camping is realistic at flagship stores. Bring water, layers, a power bank, and patience. The atmosphere is usually friendly, but six hours on concrete is six hours on concrete. Have a plan B. If you cannot secure one at retail, the secondary market will be active by lunchtime. Decide in advance what you are willing to pay above retail, and stick to it. The bigger picture Here is the thing nobody is saying out loud, and probably should be. The MoonSwatch worked because it gave a generation of watch lovers their first taste of the Speedmaster, a watch most of them would never own. The Royal Pop is going to work, if it works, because it does the same thing for the Royal Oak. A watch that is even harder to access, even more loaded with cultural weight, even more impossible to walk into a shop and buy. A steel Royal Oak retails for north of $30,000 and almost nobody pays retail. The waiting list is famous. For roughly 1% of that price, on May 16, you will be able to walk out of a Swatch store wearing something carrying the Royal Oak's design DNA, made with AP's blessing, on your wrist or around your neck. That is not nothing. It is a moment, and it is the kind of moment that builds the next generation of watch enthusiasts. The watch will not replace a real Royal Oak. Nothing will. But it will introduce the silhouette, the geometry, the entire language of one of the most important sport watches ever made to a far bigger audience than AP has ever reached on its own. That is the disruptive part. That is the future generations part. A note for buddys planning to make it their own Once the Royal Pop is in our hands, our team will start work on a Wristbuddys range built specifically for it, assuming the case format makes that possible. If you want to be first to know what we are building, the Royal Pop collection page has a notify list open now. We will be watching the launch live, updating this article in real time, and seeing you in line. Note: Wristbuddys is not affiliated with Audemars Piguet or Swatch. Watch is not included.

Watches and Wonders 2026 brought another round of major releases from the biggest names in watchmaking. This year, the theme that runs through the show is considered evolution: brands refining what they do best, with the occasional bold move thrown in. Here's a brand by brand breakdown of what was released. Rolex at Watches and Wonders 2026 Rolex went big this year. With the 100th anniversary of the Oyster case as the centrepiece, the brand released a significant number of new references across the Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Daytona, Day-Date and Yacht-Master II collections. Highlights include a reimagined Yacht-Master II with a completely new movement, a Daytona in Rolesium with a white enamel dial, and a special anniversary Oyster Perpetual 41 in Yellow Rolesor marking 100 years of the Oyster case. A year that will be talked about for some time.  Read the full Rolex at watches and wonders 2026 guide  Tudor at Watches and Wonders 2026 Tudor focused on refinement this year. The Black Bay 54 returns in a striking blue configuration, the Black Bay 58 gets a slimmer case and METAS Master Chronometer certification, and the new Black Bay 58 GMT introduces a compact travel-ready complication with a burgundy and black bezel.  Read the full Tudor at watches and wonders 2026 guide IWC at Watches and Wonders 2026 IWC arrived with one clear statement: a perpetual calendar should be simple to use.

Breitling arrived at Watches and Wonders 2026 with a space-born icon and a meteorite dial. The Navitimer Cosmonaute Artemis II connects the brand's deep-rooted space heritage with modern exploration, combining a functional 24-hour display with a meteorite dial and a limited production run of 450 pieces. Here's what you need to know. Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Artemis II The Cosmonaute's story begins in 1962, when astronaut Scott Carpenter orbited Earth during the Mercury-Atlas 7 mission wearing a specially modified Navitimer. Its defining feature was the 24-hour dial, created to distinguish day from night in orbit, a function that remains central to the model today. This 2026 release pushes that legacy further. The meteorite dial is one of the most distinctive elements of the watch. Formed in space and composed mainly of iron and nickel, the material reveals a natural Widmanstätten pattern, meaning no two dials are alike. On the wrist, the 41mm case offers strong presence without feeling oversized, while the manual movement adds a more tactile and traditional experience. Specifications: Case size: 41mm Lug width: 22mm Movement: Breitling Manufacture Calibre B02 (manual-wind) Display: 24-hour chronograph Limited to 450 pieces For a more modern and sporty feel, a rubber strap is a natural upgrade for the Cosmonaute. Black rubber keeps the look clean and versatile. Leather straps bring out the classic aviation aesthetic for a more traditional pairing. Explore Breitling rubber straps.

Panerai arrived at Watches and Wonders 2026 with a return to purpose. The Luminor 44mm collection reinterprets its military heritage through a trio of new references built around the historic 6152/1 case architecture. One case, three interpretations, each shaped by real-world use. Panerai Luminor 44mm Collection Panerai's identity has always been rooted in function. Originally developed for the Italian Navy, every design choice served a purpose: legibility, durability, and reliability under extreme conditions. This year's Luminor releases stay close to that DNA. The 44mm case, crown guard, and sandwich-style dial remain central, while variations like the Destro layout and tropical tones introduce subtle shifts in character. Across all three models, the link to the historic ref. 6152/1 is clear, both visually and conceptually. On the wrist, the Luminor 44mm is unmistakable. Large, bold, and purpose-built. Despite its size, the cushion case and short lugs help it sit securely. This is not a bracelet-first watch. The strap plays a huge role in how the watch wears. Specifications: Case size: 44mm Lug width: 24mm Case: Stainless steel Dial: Black and tropical variations Movement: Panerai manufacture calibres Power reserve: Up to 8 days (select models) Water resistance: Professional dive specifications With its 24mm lug width, the Luminor is made for strap variation. Black rubber is clean, functional, and true to its tool-watch origins. Brown leather enhances the vintage character. Green or military tones are a natural nod to Panerai's naval heritage. The strap should feel like part of the watch's story, not just an accessory. Explore Panerai straps.

IWC arrived at Watches and Wonders 2026 with a clear focus: rethink how a perpetual calendar should actually work. This year's release is not a refresh of an existing expression, it is a fundamental reimagining of how a complication of this calibre is used in everyday life. Here's what you need to know. IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar ProSet A breakthrough in perpetual calendar design. The IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar ProSet introduces a new chapter in IWC's long-standing expertise in calendar complications. Building on the legacy of Kurt Klaus, the new ProSet system allows full crown-based adjustment, both forwards and backwards, bringing a level of usability rarely seen in high-end perpetual calendars. IWC has always approached the perpetual calendar differently. Since the 1980s, the brand has focused on simplicity and usability, most notably through Kurt Klaus' crown-operated system. With ProSet, that philosophy evolves further. The entire calendar is synchronised and gear-driven, allowing full adjustment via the crown in both directions, eliminating pushers and reducing complexity in everyday use. Despite its complexity, the watch wears surprisingly controlled. The slightly reduced case size makes it more accessible, while still retaining the unmistakable Big Pilot presence. The dial remains the focal point, clean, legible, and information-dense without feeling cluttered. Specifications: Case size: 42–43mm Lug width: 21mm Case: Steel, pink gold, or white ceramic Movement: Calibre 82655 Power reserve: 60 hours Functions: Perpetual calendar, moonphase (both hemispheres) Water resistance: 100m For a more wearable and versatile setup, a rubber strap is a natural upgrade for the Big Pilot. Black rubber grounds the complexity of the dial. Blue works well on blue dial variants. Green complements olive tones and adds character. All available in FKM rubber, durable and built for daily wear. Explore IWC straps.

Watches and Wonders 2026 is here, and Tudor has made its moves. This year's lineup stays true to the brand's core strengths: tool-watch functionality, vintage-inspired design, and accessible pricing. Here's every new reference and how to pair each one. Tudor Black Bay 54 – Blue A vintage-inspired diver with a fresh identity. The Black Bay line has always drawn heavily on Tudor's dive watch history, but the Black Bay 54 might be the most faithful interpretation yet. With its compact 37mm case, minimal bezel, and clean dial layout, it captures the essence of early Tudor divers. The addition of the signature Tudor blue dial and bezel adds a new dimension, balancing vintage inspiration with a sharper, more contemporary feel. On the wrist, the 37mm case gives a true vintage feel, while the slim 11.2mm profile makes it exceptionally comfortable. The blue dial shifts in tone depending on the light, adding depth without overpowering the watch's clean design. Specifications: Case size: 37mm Lug width: 20mm Case thickness: 11.2mm Case: Stainless steel Bezel: Unidirectional, aluminium insert Dial: Blue, domed with applied markers Movement: Manufacture Calibre MT5400 (COSC) Power reserve: 70 hours Water resistance: 200m Bracelet: Steel bracelet with T-fit clasp Black rubber keeps the dive heritage intact. Blue rubber ties the dial and bezel together for a more cohesive look. Explore Tudor Black Bay 54 straps. Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT A traveller's watch with vintage roots. The Black Bay 58 GMT introduces a new mid-size GMT format, combining classic proportions with a more functional, travel-ready complication. The burgundy and black bezel adds warmth and vintage character, while the gilt dial details reinforce the heritage-inspired aesthetic. The Black Bay 58 GMT builds on the success of the standard 58, now adding a GMT function while keeping the wearable 39mm case. With METAS certification, it delivers high performance in terms of precision, durability, and resistance to magnetic fields. On the wrist it feels compact and well-balanced despite the added complication. The slightly increased thickness is noticeable on paper, but in practice it remains highly wearable. Specifications: Case size: 39mm Lug width: 20mm Case thickness: 12.8mm Case: Stainless steel Bezel: Bidirectional GMT bezel, burgundy and black aluminium Dial: Black with gilt markers Movement: Manufacture Calibre MT5450-U (COSC & METAS) Power reserve: 65 hours Water resistance: 200m Bracelet: Steel bracelet with T-fit clasp Black rubber is clean and versatile, grounding the more colourful bezel. Alternative tones can highlight the burgundy accents for a more expressive look. Explore Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT straps. Tudor Black Bay 58 A refined evolution of a modern classic. The Black Bay 58 returns with subtle design updates, a slimmer case, and METAS Master Chronometer certification. It builds on everything that made the original successful, while improving wearability and precision. The case has been refined to 11.7mm, improving proportions on the wrist. The dial is cleaner, now featuring a two-line layout, while details like the bezel, crown, and hands have been subtly reworked. On the wrist, the 39mm case and slimmer profile make it extremely wearable, while the matte dial keeps the look understated and tool-focused. A watch that works just as well daily as it does in more rugged environments. Specifications: Case size: 39mm Lug width: 20mm Case thickness: 11.7mm Case: Stainless steel Bezel: Unidirectional, aluminium insert Dial: Matte black, domed Movement: Manufacture Calibre MT5400-U (COSC & METAS) Power reserve: 65 hours Water resistance: 200m Bracelet: Steel bracelet with T-fit clasp Black rubber is the most natural choice, reinforcing the watch's tool-watch identity.
