Apple has expanded its Apple Watch Ultra 2 collection by introducing a new black titanium finish, in addition to the existing natural titanium option, offering consumers a wider range of choices.
The black titanium finish is achieved through a unique blasting technique followed by a carbon coating, which enhances its scratch resistance and durability for outdoor use. Additionally, the watch's back is made from dark zirconia to complement the new color.
Updated Bands and Elegant Options
Apple has refreshed its Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band with black hardware to match the black titanium casing. Furthermore, the new Titanium Milanese Loop band provides a sophisticated look, inspired by diver mesh bands, while being lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
The Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2 now also comes in the black titanium finish. This exclusive edition merges the resilience of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with a nautical-themed Hermès band and distinctive Hermès watch face, catering to those who desire both elegance and practicality.
