Why you can't get one in Syria.
The Royal Pop went to a short list of countries at launch and Syria was not on it. The closest official stockists are in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Greece, none of which sell or ship to Syrian addresses. On top of the brand's choices, international sanctions limit luxury exports to Syria, Stripe blocks Syrian-issued cards, and the major couriers do not always service Syrian addresses for high-value items. Each of those is something we handle case by case rather than a reason to refuse the sale upfront. The usual workaround is a forwarding address you trust outside Syria and a payment route through a non-Syrian card or bank transfer.
How our sourcing service works.
Pick a colorway on the shop page. Prices are between €1,500 and €3,200. Checkout runs on Stripe in euros. If your Syrian-issued card is rejected, contact us and we will arrange a bank transfer or an alternative card route from outside Syria. Once payment clears we send the Swatch boutique invoice and additional photographs to your email for confirmation. We then ship via DHL Express to your Syrian address if the route is open, or to a forwarding address you nominate in Türkiye, Lebanon, the UAE or Europe, fully insured and tracked. From the forwarder onward you handle any local arrangements.
Shipping to Syria.
We ship to Syria by international courier where the route operates. Where it does not, which is currently common for high-value watches into Syrian addresses, we contact you and ship to a forwarding address you trust outside Syria. Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Latakia buyers most often nominate a Türkiye or Lebanon forwarder. Every parcel is fully insured at the boutique purchase value, and the commercial invoice carries the real price. If neither a direct route nor a forwarder route is workable on your specific order, we refund the watch price minus any boutique sourcing already incurred.
