The result: a \u003cstrong\u003epocket watch\u003c\/strong\u003e in Bioceramic with the DNA of the Royal Oak and the manual-wind SISTEM51 movement, with sapphire crystals on both the front and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bioceramic case with the \u003cstrong\u003eoctagonal bezel and eight hexagonal screws\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Royal Oak, the \"Petite Tapisserie\" pattern on the dial, the vertical satin finish on the bezel and case back, and the \u003cstrong\u003eSuper-LumiNova® grade A\u003c\/strong\u003e on the hands and indices are the hallmarks of Audemars Piguet translated into Swatch’s accessible language. The transparent caseback features the Royal Pop logo and the visible movement barrel. It includes a calfskin leather strap with contrast stitching and a removable stand for use as a desk clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pocket watch | \u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bioceramic with octagonal bezel and 8 hexagonal screws — Royal Oak design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual-wind SISTEM51 (new version with 15 active patents), 90+ hours power reserve, anti-magnetic (Nivachron), precision laser adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSapphire\u003c\/strong\u003e front and back with anti-reflective coating | \u003cstrong\u003eSuper-LumiNova® grade A\u003c\/strong\u003e on hands and indices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calfskin leather strap with contrast stitching + removable desk stand | \u003cstrong\u003eMade in Switzerland.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty and Authenticity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext Step Swatch watches are purchased directly in Spain through official channels.
