I don’t own a Speedmaster, but unless I missed it earlier on the Forum, am a bit stunned the diehard crew here hasn’t previously noticed or commented on this... first sitting President ever to be seen wearing one! Discuss...

He’s an Omega guy (has been discussed here before)- owns a couple. He does have that lovely blue DJ he wore at the inauguration as well, and a cheap quartz seiko with alarm if I recall. Not the haute horology of a few former presidents, but good taste for working watches.

 

This guy has some watches

 

I knew he wore the DJ at his inauguration and has been seen wearing a number of other omegas, etc. Just don’t think anyone has ever seen him - or amazingly, any US President, sporting a Speedy before now...

 

This is the photo I’ve often seen of him wearing a Speedmaster prior to his Presidency:

 

Yes, that’s the one they refer to in the GQ article, but before he became President. Thanks for making it clear.

 

It's been posted before here, but unfortunately there is always someone who lacks the self control required to keep the discussion about watches, so eventually the thread gets removed.

 

It’s always a hot topic when the discussion takes a turn to chambray shirts.

 

Has anyone attempted to ascertain which era his watch is from? Hell, is there even a way to know a 90s from a 2000s without close inspection? I certainly can't tell. Maybe the bracelet?

And what is Bubba sporting there while golfing? I see Clinton as a dress watch kinda guy. The rectangular ones.
