What to know
Lan Ba is one of the two Royal Pop models with a Savonnette-style layout. Its dark-blue tapisserie dial, light-blue Bioceramic bezel and a lighter small-seconds display form a layered, tonal composition. The crown is positioned at 3 o’clock instead of 12, giving the watch a different orientation from the six simpler two-hand models.
Under the sapphire back, the new hand-wound SISTEM51 gets its own colourful Pop Art treatment and a barrel that doubles as a power-reserve visual cue. The 40 mm Bioceramic head is worn using a removable matching calfskin lanyard and holder, continuing Swatch’s modular POP concept. Lan Ba retains the Royal Oak-inspired eight bezel screws but is unmistakably a pocket watch rather than a conventional wristwatch. It debuted with the Royal Pop collection on 16 May 2026.
