About this drop
Drop 01.
Eight colourways. 500 units each. The AP × Swatch Royal Pop deserved a strap that matched its ambition. We built it.
I've been looking for this strap for too long. No one had made it right — so we did. OCTANT is the answer.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
When will I receive my strap?
Each OCTANT strap is made to order — produced specifically for your colourway, then shipped directly to you. From the moment you place your order to the moment it arrives at your door: within 20 days. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as it ships.
Is this strap compatible with the AP × Swatch Royal Pop?
Yes — OCTANT straps are precision-engineered for the exact 20mm Royal Pop lug width. They fit no other watch.
What is the difference between ceramic and silicone?
Ceramic — Cold, dense, permanent colour. Scratch-resistant. Elevated, architectural feel.
Silicone — Soft, flexible, ultralight. Sweat-proof. Built for daily wear and sport.
How many units are available?
Drop 01 is limited to 500 units per colourway per material. Once sold, this drop does not restock. A second drop may or may not happen — we make no promises.
Can I return or exchange?
We accept returns within 14 days of delivery if the strap is unused and in original packaging. Pre-order cancellations are accepted within 48 hours of purchase.
What currency do you charge in?
All prices are in GBP (£). Your card provider applies its own exchange rate for non-GBP cards.
