Lan Ba · Strap II · Crown @ 3 · Arctic Blue
For the AP × Swatch Royal Pop Lan Ba
Arctic Blue
The second Lan Ba pairing — where Cobalt Mirage matches the dial tone-for-tone, Arctic Blue lifts the case out of it. A pale, frosted blue against the vivid cobalt Bioceramic; the gold crown at 3 and the small-seconds ring at 6 catch light against the lighter strap the way warm metal catches against snow.

Bioceramic · Arctic Blue
The colour story
Cobalt Mirage was the obvious pairing for the Lan Ba — matched hue, one continuous read on the wrist. Arctic Blue is the opposite move: keep the blue family, but drop the tone three steps so the case becomes a single saturated object floating above a pale field. The pale strap picks up the gold hardware more visibly than the cobalt version — the crown at 3 and the small-seconds register both read warmer against the cool, almost-white blue. This is the configuration for wearing the Lan Ba under a light-coloured cuff without the strap disappearing into the sleeve.
Compatibility
Crown position determines strap orientation. The Lan Ba is a Savonnette layout — crown at 3 o'clock — so it takes Strap II. The octagonal holder is machined to the millimetre of the 40mm Bioceramic case; eight stainless screws fix it without touching the dial or crystal.
