This month is Black History Month, so in celebration of it, Apple has introduced a limited-edition Apple Watch Series 6, the Black Unity Sport Band, and a Unity watch face. Now, the Black Unity Apple Watch Series 6 and a Black Unity Sport Band are now available to order in the US and elsewhere.

Like the other Apple Watch Series 6 models, the limited edition model looks identical, except the Space Gray aluminum case is engraved with the words "Black Unity" on the back. Moreover, the Black Unity Sport Band has “Truth. Power. Solidarity.” laser-engraved onto the interior of the stainless steel fastening pin.

Apple says that the Black Unity Collection pays homage to the rich tradition and craft of quilting in the Black community and celebrates the colors of the Pan-African flag: red for the blood that unites people of the African Diaspora and was shed for their liberation, black for the people whose existence is affirmed by the flag, and green for the vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.

The company went on to announce that it is supporting six global organizations to help advance their missions in promoting and achieving equality and civil rights in the US and around the world: Black Lives Matter Support Fund via the Tides Foundation; European Network Against Racism; International Institute on Race, Equality and Human Rights; Leadership Conference Education Fund; NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.; and Souls Grown Deep.

Furthermore, Apple Watch users can participate in a new Unity Activity Challenge and earn the limited-edition award by closing their Move ring seven days in a row during February.

Apple Watch Series 6 Black Unity starts at $399 in the US and the Black Unity Sport Band is $49.
