Apple has expanded its Apple Watch Ultra 2 lineup with a sleek new black titanium finish, offering consumers an additional style option alongside the classic natural titanium. This new look combines rugged durability with a refined aesthetic.
Black Titanium Finish: Durability Meets Style
The black titanium finish is achieved through a specialized blasting process followed by a carbon coating, making the watch highly scratch-resistant and durable, ideal for outdoor adventures. The back of the watch is crafted from dark zirconia, matching the black color scheme for a cohesive look.
Apple has also refreshed its Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band to include black hardware, perfectly complementing the black titanium case. Additionally, the new Titanium Milanese Loop band provides a refined, sophisticated appearance inspired by mesh bands used by divers. This band is both lightweight and resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in any condition.
The black titanium finish is also available for the Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2. This special edition combines the rugged features of the Ultra 2 with a luxurious Hermès nautical-themed band and exclusive Hermès watch face, catering to those seeking both durability and high-end fashion.

The watch features a rotating crown and an action button for easy control, along with a new double-tap gesture that allows users to perform tasks like answering calls or pausing timers without needing to touch the screen.
Its Always-On Retina display delivers up to 3,000 nits of brightness, ensuring clear visibility even in direct sunlight.
