Apple’s latest launch event just wrapped up, and for September, the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10 stole most of the spotlight. But to my surprise, another new product caught my attention.
Many fans will have been hoping for an Apple Watch Ultra 3 reveal, but it didn’t happen. Instead we got a new colorway of the Ultra 2 and this is what I crave more than any of the other shiny new fruit flavored gadgets.
The new edition is Black Titanium and simply looks beautiful with its unobtrusive satin black finish. It’s not that the existing Ultra in the natural finish is bad, but it just never did much for me.
I bet this is the style James Bond would wear
It was the black and orange color scheme of the Samsung Galaxy Ultra that I was most excited about, so this is an unsurprising development. No one expected this announcement during today’s keynote.
That satin finish is achieved with a ‘custom blasting process’ and Apple says “the diamond-like carbon-physical vapor deposition coating over the grade 5 titanium makes it scratch-resistant and durable.”
Meanwhile, the “back crystal is made of a matching, dark zirconia.”
Well, I don’t really care what it’s made of, but it looks incredible, with the orange action button standing out even more – at least in Apple’s high-resolution images anyway.
The Black Titanium Ultra 2 is paired with updated Trail Loop, Alpine Loop and Ocean Band straps with black hardware and there’s also a new Black Titanium Milanese Loop (available in natural or black titanium).
I never thought I’d want an Apple Watch Ultra, but look at me… and I bet this is also the model James Bond would wear.
