What to know

Orenji Hachi pairs a deep-navy Bioceramic case and tapisserie-effect dial with vivid orange hands, indices and bezel screws. Those small orange accents draw the eye around the Royal Oak-derived octagon without making the entire watch bright. The result is one of the more technical-looking Royal Pop colour combinations.

This Lépine pocket watch has a crown at 12 o’clock, a 40 mm head and a two-hand display. Its detachable navy calfskin lanyard carries contrasting orange stitching, continuing the two-tone scheme beyond the case. The redesigned, manually wound SISTEM51 is visible through a decorated sapphire display back, while a sapphire crystal and Super-LumiNova protect and illuminate the dial side. Orenji Hachi is part of the eight-model Royal Pop release dated 16 May 2026.
