Apple today introduced some updates to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, including a new titanium band and a dark color optiond.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is now available in an all-new Satin Black finish, alongside the existing Natural titanium casing. The new black titanium finish is achieved through a custom blasting process, and it features a diamond-like carbon coating that enhances its scratch resistance and durability. The back crystal is made from dark zirconia to match the striking new look.
In addition to the new finish, Apple has introduced a new Titanium Milanese Loop for the Apple Watch Ultra, designed for both water activities and stylish everyday wear. The lightweight, corrosion-resistant band is woven from aerospace-grade titanium, featuring a dual-button parachute-style buckle. It is available in both Natural and Satin Black finishes.
Apple is also extending its collaboration with Hermès to the Apple Watch Ultra, introducing a new Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2. This edition features a titanium buckle and a specially designed Hermès Maritime watch face. The Hermès Ultra 2 includes a new En Mer band made from high-density textured knit, providing durability for water sports while retaining a premium feel.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes with a suite of new features in watchOS 11, including sleep apnea notifications, a Vitals app for key overnight health metrics, and a new Tides app for open water activity tracking. The Action button now offers expanded customization options, allowing users to switch actions with a long press, including options like Voice Memos, Shazam, and Stopwatch.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2, and the new Titanium Milanese Loop are available for pre-order today, starting at $799, with launch on September 20.
