One band, in particular, will be released by the company. It’s called the Equator Tatoutage. It’s designed by Robert Dallet and will be available in limited numbers, according to a report from Vogue. The band is based on the Simple Tour band already available for the Apple Watch, but with jungle imagery and a jaguar pattern.
As a Hermes band, it won’t come cheap — to get one for yourself you will have to shell out about $442, which is quite a bit more than the standard Simple Tour band, which comes at $368 and is already one of the more expensive Apple Watch bands. You can only get the new band from a Hermes boutique.
Hermes is the only fashion-focused brand Apple has partnered with for the Apple Watch to date. The company has, however, also buddied up with Nike to offer the Apple Watch Nike+, which comes with a more sports-focused band. Of course, the actual watch itself is the same — it offers just as many fitness tracking features. You can also specifically buy the Apple Watch Hermes, though the only difference between that and a standard Apple Watch is its band and a few custom watch faces.
The Apple Watch, in general, has been touted as one of the more stylish smart offerings, despite the fact that some suggest it looks a little too modern to be a truly classic watch. While some would have preferred a round design, the device is sleek and modern, and partnerships like the one with Hermes helps make that even truer.
