No new Ultra, not yet. But there is a new look for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 – Satin Black. This is a matte finish achieved through a bespoke process that makes the exterior more scratch resistant. The watch is still made out of titanium, specifically 95% recycled grade 5 titanium (the titanium Series 10 also uses recycled material). The back is made out of tough zirconia.
To go with the new look, Apple also
designed a new Titanium Milanese Loop. It is inspired by scuba divers and
designed for scuba divers. And if you already have an Ultra 2, don’t worry,
there’s a version of the new loop to match the original natural titanium look.
Long time partner Hermès also designed a
new wrist strap, this one drawing inspiration from sailing. There’s a matching
watch face too – if you use it, the Action button will be set to a
nautical-themed countdown timer.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Satin Black is
available for pre-order starting today and will be available on September 20.
The price is the same as before, US$ 800 (all Ultra watches are GPS+Cellular).
