Not sure what Obama's wearing but the guy to his right looks like he's got a white dial SS Daytona on.

Yes, that appears to be the Secret Service watch that was given to him awhile back. I just acquired one a few days ago, I'm happy to say. It's not a Rolex, but it has a high cool factor. They are not available to the public...only to the Secret Service. No, I'm not in the Secret Service, but I was able to obtain one of watches.

That's Joe Biden and his Bond Seamaster Pro.

ippon20 · 21 January 2009, 07:37 AM

That was Biden...and it did look like a Daytona.

I might be wrong but it looks like he's wearing a chrono.

Remember the SMP has a HEV which looks like a chrongraph pusher.

texas timex? or just plain timex?

It somewhat saddens me that the official Secret Service watch is partly made in an unfriendly China.

I'm jealous. I'd been asking around to a few friends to see if I could get my hands on one of these, without any luck. Truly a unique watch.

Sperry · 21 January 2009, 08:41 AM

Didn't the Service gave him a special watch with tracking device ?

Omega_Precision · 21 January 2009, 09:24 AM

I don't think he would be wearing a Rolex because of the stigma that comes with it and he's a public official. Just like Bush gave up his Rolex for a Timex.

IWC maybe?

It is a Secret Service watch available through the employee store. My wife purchased one for me for Christmas. It has a Miyota (Citizens) quartz movement. Here's a close up.

Looks awesome. Things that one can not get, sometime look very appealing

I couldn't see during the inauguration, but I did notice that in a recent interview, he was NOT wearing a Timex, but a nicer looking watch with a gray leather strap.

I really think that is a cool looking watch...now, I have to figure out someone who works for SS.

I want one!
