That’s Orange/Bleu Saphir, one of the first jumping bands ever made. I will say that picture makes the blue look almost purple though.
Got a tip for us?

I struggled with the colors but I erred on the side of not too purple. And also Cali golden-ish hour light effects.
Here I de-purpled the blue a tad:

If it still looks too purple it confirms what I remember from the edit at the time and going back last night…any less purple and it turns into Bleu Agate/Blue Horizon haha
Seems like the signature look of the “Hermes” face is a more narrow rectangle, maybe to evoke the proportions of the letter H?
@athousandbands question. Are those real jumping bands or some type of photo created? I thought you did not have a Hermes watch, but a ceramic. It is great to have you here and you do a great service but sometimes I am confused.
I just took Hermes’ H Vibration graphic and made a photo face for my ceramic. See my post history for additional pics of my silver stainless Hermes watch. Fake faces beyond my almost-satisfying photo faces are not my jam. All bands in my collection are OEM.
@athousandbands. This is my first Hermes. Space Black. I decided to treat myself and spend the $$$. I got it with three years of Apple Care. I am trying to resist a new watch every year. My Hermes should be good for 3 years? For me, fall detection is very important. I could have gotten any model for that, but I am harsh of my watches and did not want the ALU.
I would say five years, especially because it’s going to take a lot to make that new S7 design look old and make you want something new.
The main thing is to try to get the free battery service before the warranty runs out. But you’ll have to use cellular and workout mode a lot to get it down to 79% battery health.
Especially because the os9 update has added 4% back to my s4 and s5 watches respectively.
Space Black DLC isn’t totally impervious to scratches but pretty hard to scratch. And sapphire is solid unless you drop it.
And the chipset is the same from the series 6 but rumors say it’s also making it to the s8, so it should get updates as long as the s8?
I’ll def be looking for an s7 41mm sss once the s8 is out. It’s a great generation.
Wow. Thanks for the tips. I was thinking of keeping my Hermes S7 for 2 years, now you've given me confidence for 5. I will remember to replace battery once it gets down to 79%.
I've been pretty harsh on my S7. Lots of housework and heavy lifting. So far it's held up really well.
@GrandeLatte and @athousandbands. The SB Hermes has really held up well for me too and I am very hard con watches.
New arrival today! Couldn’t make myself wait until the fall 😔. Possibly the dullest color combination so far on a Jumping. But it fits my wardrobe pretty well so it works for me!
The Bleu Saphir/Orange might also have fallen into my cart at the same time. Beautiful band but still not sure I would wear it much.

@MacDevil7334 Did you purchase from Apple or Hermes? That is my favorite Jumping Band. It goes with my SB Hermes even though the hardware is contrasting. Hope the Watch gives you lots of pleasure.
Don’t forget the magical cape cod cloth. Some people on here do wild things with it. I still need to get one.
I got this from Hermes. But I think Apple still has them in stock to. For the Bleu Saphir/Orange, I think I might have gotten the last one? It was no longer listed on the Hermes site when I went to check my order status the next morning.
I only do 30 minutes on the stationary bike every two days. Light resistance. I am not sure I need two watches.
Once you have hundreds of bands you need 4-5 just to get to play with all the bands in a timely manner…totally normal. I also need the Nike faces. But yeah consider it a challenge to Tim and Evans’ wizards to make the S7 look totally antiquated before my 4-5 year window…
Gurman has refuted squared off and mm jump. Or the 46 is 45mm band compatible.
Regardless the Hermes “edition” is its own special moneymaker that’s going nowhere imo. The margin on the bands and the full-pack SKU is very Tim.
And I don’t see a connection with Hermes bands and the matte/rugged look and durability.
