The Apple Watch Ultra 2 had a minor update during the Glowtime event, with the second-generation wearable gaining a new darker look and Hermes bands.
The new Apple Watch Ultra 2 colorway
Following the introduction of the Apple Watch Series 10, Apple brought out a small update to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. One concerning its appearance, not its specifications.
The new finish is a satin black, produced using a custom blasting process. As well as the casing, Apple has updated the rear sensor to use a dark zirconia back crystal.
To go with the casing Apple has also brought out a titanium Milanese Loop Band.
As well as the new color choice, Apple has also extended its partnership with Hermes to the Apple Watch Ultra, with new bands available for the model.
Pricing is unchanged at $799. Preorders start later on Monday, with availability of the new color on September 20.

Or possibly because announcing a new finish for it may help boost sales. People who might have considered an Ultra, but not been sure about the single finish choice available. (You can criticise people like that all you like, but they exist. Whether they exist in numbers sufficient for Apple to make money off them remains to be seen. I'm guessing they've got market research that says "Yes".)
