In celebration of Black History Month commencing on February 1, Apple has launched an exclusive Apple Watch Black Unity collection in honor of Black history and Black culture. The new Apple Watch Black Unity collection includes an exclusive limited-edition Apple Watch Series 6, Black Unity Sport band, and Unity watch face.
In addition to the Apple Watch collection, Apple has also introduced new collections and content on various services to highlight Black creators, artists, authors, influencers, and others to celebrate Black History Month in the United State. Therefore, the interior of the limited edition Apple Watch has a powerful slogan engraving.
Members of the Black creative community and allies throughout Apple came together to design an Apple Watch Sport Band and Apple Watch face to honor the ongoing fight for racial justice. Inspired by the call to action of both the historic and current movements, the Black Unity Sport Band has “Truth. Power. Solidarity.” laser-engraved onto the interior of the stainless steel fastening pin.
