Want to wear the watch that the leader of the free world sports on his wrist? It’s not as expensive as you think. It was recently revealed that Barack Obama wears a Jorg Gray 6500 watch, which retails for just $325.
The U.S. watchmaker has seen a dramatic rise in sales after Obama was seen wearing it to various campaign events. Jorg Gray now sells a commemorative edition version of the same watch worn by the president, engraved with the date of his inauguration.
The Jorg Gray website describes the watch like this:
The Jorg Gray JG6500 watch is case cut from solid steel and features a matte black dial, Italian buffalo leather strap, high precision Japanese chronograph movement, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, date display, and is water resistant to 100 meters.
The watch was originally designed for the U.S. Secret Service. Obama was given the 6500 as a 46th birthday present by a member of his security team in 2007.
