Created under Glenn Martens, it integrates Diesel’s industrial design aesthetic with Ultrahuman’s biometric proficiency.

Diesel has collaborated with health-tech startup Ultrahuman to introduce the Diesel Ultrahuman Ring, a stylish wearable that provides continuous body insights.

Conceived under the artistic guidance of Glenn Martens, the ring integrates Ultrahuman’s smart-ring technology with Diesel’s industrial design ethos. It monitors an extensive array of physiological indicators, including sleep quality, step count, caloric expenditure, and heart rate, in addition to real-time recuperation and stress assessment. The device detects caffeine use with suggested cut-off periods, monitors ovulation cycles, and provides insights to enhance users' comprehension of everyday performance and welfare. It is designed for prolonged use, with a lightweight structure for all-day comfort and overnight monitoring, with a battery life estimated at four to six days. It includes automatic synchronisation and integrated data privacy safeguards, which do not necessitate a membership.

The Diesel Ultrahuman Ring is available in two finishes: polished silver and weathered black, each with Diesel’s Double D emblem. Each unit is accompanied by a coordinating charging dock in Diesel red, as well as a USB-C cable presented in the brand's distinctive red-and-white designs.

Although this collaboration is not Diesel's inaugural venture into wearables, having previously launched the Diesel On Axial smartwatch in 2019, it represents the brand's latest endeavour to transcend fashion. This initiative merges its culture-centric design philosophy with Ultrahuman's scientifically grounded health platform, positioning the ring as both a performance instrument and a fashionable accessory.

The Diesel Ultrahuman Ring is currently available through Diesel, Ultrahuman, and select retail partners, priced at £469 GBP / €559 EUR. It is presently unavailable in the U.S.; nevertheless, remain attentive to Hypebeast for any updates about this matter.
