Apple is now selling a Gold Link Bracelet for the Apple Watch. Listed for $349, the band is made from 316L stainless steel alloy and features over 100 components.

Apple first showcased the band while unveiling the Apple Watch Series 10 at its September “It’s Glowtime” event.

The shade of the Gold Link Bracelet looks similar to the gold stainless steel used in Apple Watch Series 10. Apple says the machining process for the Link Bracelet is so precise that “it takes nearly nine hours to cut the links for a single band.”

Apple announced the complicated band alongside the Apple Watch Series 10, but it’s compatible with all Apple Watch models. Just choose the right size: The 42mm version fits Apple Watch models from 38mm to 42mm. The 46mm version will fit 44mm to 49mm models.

Order soon or it might not arrive before Christmas

Stock for the Gold Link Bracelet appears limited, with Apple’s online store listing the shipping at three to four weeks. That means if you place an order today, the band will arrive before Christmas. That’s a long wait, but if you like the look, it might be worth it. And if you want one for a gift, you definitely shouldn’t delay.

Besides gold, you can get the Link Bracelet in natural and slate colors. Those are in stock and will ship immediately.
