Watch Spotting: Dave Chappelle Wearing The Apple Watch Black Unity Limited Edition

February 12, 2021

Dave Chappelle is a watch guy. He's worn Breitling courtside at NBA games and a Rolex Daytona in Studio 8H for Saturday Night Live.? But under the bright lights of a BBQ joint in Austin, Texas for a comedy show with Joe Rogan, Chappelle left the mechanical grails at home. Instead, he threw on a limited-edition watch C with a limited-edition strap C and a custom dial featuring his own damn logo.? The timepiece in question was the Apple Watch Series 6 Black Unity Limited Edition released in honor of Black History Month C easily spotted by its strikingly colorful strap. According to Apple, that strap is inspired by the Pan-African flag and made from a high-performance material called fluoroelastomer. The pin-and-tuck closure is laser-etched "Truth. Power. Solidarity." The aluminum case is fashioned from 100 percent recycled aerospace-grade alloy. Even the caseback gets the laser engraved treatment, reading "Black Unity." There is also a Black Unity watch face available to everyone with the latest watchOS ?C even if you don't have the special Black Unity hardware. Chappelle put his own spin on Apple's newest LE. Look closer, and you'll notice a certain letter C prominently featured on the dial as a custom Apple Watch face. ?How do you take a limited edition and make it more, well, limited? That's how.
