Series 12 rumors pointing to a ceramic case for the first time since 2019 prompted a fresh look at the Apple Watch Series 5 Ceramic Edition.
Series 5 marked ceramic’s return after skipping Series 4 and paired it with the redesigned case, an all-ceramic back and a revised Digital Crown with a red-accented black cap.
Apple sold the ceramic Edition in 40mm and 44mm sizes for $1,299 to $1,749, far above the $399 starting price for standard Series 5 models.
The revisit underscores how long ceramic has been absent from Apple’s lineup and frames Series 12 as a possible revival of a premium case material.
