Barack Obama’s Watch of Choice
By WatchPro | April 28, 2009
Just like everybody else, presidents wear watches. They probably need them more than ordinary people, because their life is strictly regulated. So which watch does Barack Obama wear?
Whereas being the president of the US, George Bush favoured a $50 Timex with the Stars and Stripes on the dial, the watch of choice for his successor Barack Obama is a little more exclusive than a Timex. For fifteen years (from the early 1990’s until late 2007), Barack Obama has worn a TAG Heuer Series 1500 Two Tone Diver’s watch, a model with quartz movement, which was launched in 1991. Knowing that Harvard graduate Barack Obama obtained his degree in 1991 and got married in October, 1992, it is possible to guess which the occasion for the purchase of this watch was. The cost of the watch was 575 dollars, which was considered average price for Tag Heuer watches at that time. This was a functional diving watch that described its wearer as an adventurer and man of action. In 1998 the 1500 Professional series was discontinued.
The model in TAG-Heuer’s current line of watches that could be considered the closest successor to the Series 1500 Two-Tone Diver is the Aquaracer watch. The timepiece is dedicated to sailing and diving and was founded to provide the accuracy that all water-sports demands. Based on the design and features of iconic TAG Heuer Aquaracer launched in 1982 (later named “2000″ series), this prestigious sports watch that is water- resistant to 300 meters.
The high quality Tag Heuer replica watches, combining sportiness and elegance in one sophisticated timepiece and, are available on our site. With this watch, looking exactly as the original, everybody can feel himself as an influential politician.
