This year marks a decade of the Apple-Hermès partnership, a union where innovation meets craftsmanship. Since debuting in 2015, the collaboration has taken wearable tech to artful new heights. Celebrating 10 years of creativity, they launch the new Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Hermès Series 11.

Firstly, all eyes on the Watch Ultra 3, Apple’s ultimate sports and adventure timepiece. It features emergency SOS via satellite, more health insights, a 42-hour battery life and the largest Apple Watch display yet.
To match the sleek upgrade, the Hermès Scub’H Diving band comes in three hues: Blanc, Gris Titane and Noir. Made from high-performance elastomer with breathable circular cutouts and a titanium clasp for a secure fit, it’s not only ultra-light and water-resistant, but also ready for any adventure.

Next come a host of band designs for the new Apple Watch Series 11. Besides comprehensive health features, like hypertension notifications and sleep score, it also boasts longer battery life and a display with double the scratch-resistance.
Firstly, Hermès refines elegance with the Grand H Fin strap, a slimmer take on the classic Grand H. Crafted from stainless steel and secured with a butterfly clasp, the bracelet blends technical precision with fluid, modern lines. Bookended by the iconic H motif, it’s a contemporary take on a storied watchmaking style.
Then the Faubourg Party strap featuring designs by artist Tibor Kárpáti cleverly blend whimsy with heritage. A pixelated illustration of the maison’s 24 Faubourg store façade adorns the Bleu Nuit strap in durable jacquard knit. 24 versatile watch face animations with playful details, like a horse on a bicycle or lad holding an apple, accompany the strap for round-the-clock fun.
Lastly, the Animaux Bandana brings the spirit of Shinsuke Kawahara’s eponymous silk scarf to the wrist. Screen-printed in black onto white swift calfskin leather, a variety of horses, toucans, monkeys, parrots and sloths transform the strap into a miniature canvas.
Excited? The new Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Hermès Series 11 collections are now available for pre-order online, and for sale from 19 September 2025 in selected stores and online.
