It is made of the same Bioceramic found on the Omage x Swatch MoonSwatch and the Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms. The pocket watch measures 40mm in diameter and is 8.4mm thick.

The pocket watch comes in either Lépine (classic) or Savonnette (with small seconds sub dial). Its skeleton barrel comes with 

The movement inside the Royal Pop

Inside is the new hand-wound variant of the SISTEM51 movement. It is currently the only hand-wound Swiss-made caliber without a central screw. It runs -5/+15 seconds per day and holds 90 hours of power reserve.

The front and rear glass panels use sapphire glass and come in either Otto Rosso, Huit Blanc, Green Eight, Blaue Acht, Lan Ba, Otg Roz, Ocho Nego, and Orenji Hachi.

Swatch hopes that you wear the Royal Pop around your neck, on your wrist, in your pocket, or even tied to your bag like a charm.
