Coming Soon

The Orenji Hachi — Japanese for "orange eight" — is the orange Lépine in the Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop collection. A BIOCERAMIC pocket watch with no lugs and no strap, by design.

Project WristPop is our open R&D effort to give it a home on the wrist. We're developing a dedicated rubber case-strap for the Orenji Hachi colorway, with the case rotated to a driver's-watch reading angle. Fully reversible — no drilling, no permanent modification.

R&D Track Record

We've done this before.

When a watch has no existing aftermarket support, we build one. Three examples from our archive of first-to-market and proprietary mechanisms.

Tissot PRX Straps

First to Market · 2022

Tissot PRX Straps

When the PRX launched, the integrated-bracelet shape meant no aftermarket strap on the market would fit. We built one. Delugs was the first independent strap maker to ship a fitted leather and rubber for the PRX — and shipped the first units within weeks of the watch's launch.

Cartier Santos · D-Lock Adapter

Proprietary Adapter

Cartier Santos · D-Lock Adapter

The Santos uses a proprietary QuickSwitch system that locks out aftermarket straps. We engineered the D-Lock — our own adapter mechanism, internally developed and patented — that bridges the Santos case to any Delugs strap. The first aftermarket Santos strap solution that fits properly.

Micro-Adjust CTS Clasp

In-House Engineering

Micro-Adjust CTS Clasp

Most clasp innovation in the industry comes from the brands. We built our own — the Micro-Adjust CTS Clasp, with 6mm of on-wrist micro-adjustment, designed and engineered entirely in-house. Used across our CTS Rubber Strap collection.

Questions

Common questions.

When will the case-strap be available?
We are in active R&D from the moment the Royal Pop launched. We don't make promises on timelines we can't keep — but we will email everyone on the waitlist the moment we have a release date, and again when units ship.
Will fitting a case-strap damage the watch?
Every concept we are exploring is non-destructive. The Royal Pop ships with a removable clip holder — our solutions either work with the existing clip, replace the clip with a strap-bearing version of the same form factor, or hold the watch in a custom cradle. No drilling, no modification, no permanent change to the case. We respect the watch.
Is this an official Swatch or Audemars Piguet product?
No. Delugs is an independent watch strap company. The case-straps we develop for the Royal Pop are aftermarket — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sold through Swatch or Audemars Piguet. We have a strong track record of building aftermarket solutions for watches that the brands themselves do not service.
What makes Delugs any different from other strap brands that are working on straps for the Royal Pop?
Delugs has been a dedicated watch strap company for years, with hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers around the world and flagship boutiques in Singapore and Hong Kong. We're a team of watch enthusiasts who obsess over the small things — stitching, edge finish, taper, on-wrist feel — and our portfolio spans thousands of watch references, including pieces the brands themselves do not support. We also partner directly with watch brands on official strap collaborations. The work in our R&D Track Record above — Tissot PRX, Cartier Santos D-Lock, the Micro-Adjust CTS Clasp — was engineered in-house. Project WristPop is built on the same process we've used for every Delugs product.
Will the case-strap work with all 8 colorways?
Yes — but across two case-strap designs. The six Lépine references (crown at 12) share one case-strap, designed to rotate the crown to roughly 2 o'clock when worn. The two Savonette references (crown at 3, small seconds at 9) share a different case-strap built around that lateral layout. Between the two designs, every colorway is covered.
How much will it cost?
We don't know yet — pricing depends on the final design and materials. We'll share specifics with the waitlist before public launch. As a frame of reference, our custom straps generally start at USD 150 and our most engineered solutions (like our Cartier Santos D-Lock) sit higher.
