Barack Obama’s Watch
What watch does Barack Obama wear? While our President is particularly fond of his Patek Philippe 3940 Perpetual Calendar Automatic and his Girard-Perregaux 1996 model (Nicolas Sarkozy’s watches), Barack Obama opts for understated simplicity with a Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph.
And the most surprising part is yet to come. The watch worn by the most powerful man on the planet is within everyone’s reach for the modest sum of… €290 (see
).
A simple quartz watch from the American brand, with a 41 mm stainless-steel case and a black leather strap.
It should be noted that the model worn by Obama has a distinctive feature that makes this timepiece a rare object, as it was given to him by his bodyguards during his presidential campaign.
Only members of the Secret Service are authorised to wear it. It even bears the “Secret Service” logo on its dial.
