Apple: 40mm Black Unity Sport Band – M/L

Designed by Black creatives and allies throughout Apple to celebrate and acknowledge Black history and culture, the Black Unity Sport Band is inspired by the colours of the Pan-African flag and pays homage to the rich tradition and craft of quilt-making. Three individual pieces of coloured fluoroelastomer are assembled by hand and compression-moulded as one. Complemented by the dynamic Unity watch face, which displays an ever-changing pattern of irregular shapes as Apple Watch moves, these colours are brought together in a unique tapestry. The innovative pin-and-tuck closure is laser-etched with “Truth. Power. Solidarity.”

Apple supports these organisations dedicated to advancing racial equity and justice:

• Black Lives Matter Support Fund via the Tides Foundation – The Black Lives Matter movement fuels campaigns for justice, combats and counters acts of violence, and creates space for Black imagination and innovation.
• European Network Against Racism (ENAR) – ENAR, a pan-European anti-racism network, is the voice of the anti-racist movement in Europe.
• International Institute on Race, Equality and Human Rights – The institute works to protect the human rights of marginalised and vulnerable people who suffer from discrimination.
• Leadership Conference Education Fund – The Leadership Conference Education Fund promotes and protects civil and human rights and builds public education campaigns that empower and mobilise advocates around the United States.
• NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) – LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities and achieve racial justice to fulfil the promise of equality for all Americans.
• Souls Grown Deep – The partnership is dedicated to promoting the work of African-American artists and supporting their communities by fostering economic empowerment, racial and social justice, and educational advancement.

This is only a small part of Apple’s commitment to challenge systemic barriers that exist for communities of colour, and particularly for the Black community.
