What's a Secret Service Watch? ;)

Who makes it?

USSSA550.jpg

It's apparently made in China with a Japanese quartz movement from Jorg Gray who will private label these for about $180 apiece with a minimum order of 12. This Secret Service branded one is only available in the SS employees store which is not open to the public.

The article below:

The Watches of Obama

...gives the link to the company:

Jorg Gray Catalogue Link

that gives the pricing info.

That thing is terrible. I would hate to have to be forced to wear that.

Join the RAF then. Some nice Seikos. (But also Quartz ... mechanical being something of an affectation quite at odds with modern day military utilitarianism).

Anyone know what Obama wears/wore when not on the campaign trail? I was a regular on Timezone in the Clinton era (really .. that long ago ..) and arm shots were regularly posted ... while during elections he wore Timex digitals, outside of these times he was rather more inclined towards the high-end (Choppard, AP and the like).

This is a nice informative site

And now you can buy the same chronograph for $250 on Ebay

See Here

I am not the seller, btw. If I am not so anti-chronograph, I would get one. For now, I am settling with two chronographs in my collection: Precista PRS-17C (ETA 27J quartz!) and Tissot TTouch. :)
