Introduction to Joe Biden
Joe Biden served as the 46th President of the United States from 2021 to 2025, having previously spent 36 years as a U.S. Senator from Delaware and two terms as Vice President under Barack Obama. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1942, Biden built one of the longest careers in American political history, passing landmark legislation on issues ranging from criminal justice to climate policy. He became the oldest person ever elected to the presidency and, in 2024, made the historic decision to withdraw from the presidential race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Joe Biden watch collection is notably understated for a head of state, which itself tells a story. Biden has been spotted across decades wearing a Seiko Chronograph reference 7T32-6M90, a quartz-powered model from the late 1980s and early 2000s that retailed for well under $200. He wore it at campaign rallies, official meetings, and notably on his wrist when he addressed the nation after his 2020 election victory — a moment that drew genuine attention from the watch community. Beyond the Seiko, Biden has been photographed wearing an Omega Seamaster, a brand with strong ties to American public life and diplomatic circles. A Rolex has also appeared on his wrist on select occasions, and he has been seen with an Apple Watch, placing him among the many politicians who have adopted wearable technology alongside traditional mechanical pieces.
What the collection reflects is a deliberate lack of ostentation. The continued use of an inexpensive Seiko across decades of public life — from the Senate floor to the Oval Office — is unusual in a world where political figures frequently gravitate toward watches that signal status. The Omega and Rolex sightings suggest Biden does own more conventional prestige pieces, but the Seiko remains the watch most closely associated with him, and it is the one that has drawn the most attention from collectors and journalists alike.
Joe Biden Spotted Wearing Seiko Chronograph Reference 7T32-6M90
Inserted 14/02/2023
The Seiko 7T32-6M90 runs on a quartz chronograph movement — a deliberately democratic choice for a career politician who has worn the same affordable two-tone piece through Senate hearings, campaign trails, and a presidential victory speech. Produced during the 1990s and early 2000s, the reference has long since left regular retail channels, making Biden's well-worn example a genuine period survivor. It is arguably the most consequential Seiko ever to appear on a head of state's wrist.
Joe Biden Spotted Wearing Apple Watch Series 3 in Space Gray Aluminum
Inserted 14/02/2023
The Apple Watch Series 3 remains one of the most democratically priced smartwatches ever produced by Cupertino, retailing at launch for just $329 — a far cry from the Rolex Submariners and Patek Philippes favored by many world leaders. What it lacks in horological prestige it compensates with biometric utility: heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, and cellular connectivity. Spotted on the wrist of President Joe Biden during what appears to be a formal meeting setting, the space gray Sport Band configuration signals a deliberately understated, functional choice from the 46th President of the United States.
Joe Biden Spotted Wearing Stainless Steel Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional
Inserted 04/12/2022
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005 is powered by the hand-wound calibre 1861 — a movement so closely related to the one worn on every lunar landing that NASA never felt the need to change it. President Joe Biden was photographed wearing this classic stainless steel Speedy in an InStyle magazine feature published around the time of his election as the 46th President of the United States, placing one of horology's most historically loaded wristwatches on the wrist of one of the world's most powerful offices.
Joe Biden Spotted Wearing Stainless Steel Rolex Datejust 41 Blue Dial on Jubilee Bracelet (Ref. 126300)
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Datejust 41 ref. 126300 is powered by the in-house Calibre 3235, a movement that represented a significant leap forward when Rolex introduced it in 2016 — offering 70 hours of power reserve and Rolex's Chronergy escapement. President Joe Biden was spotted wearing this clean, navy-dialed stainless steel example at FEMA headquarters, a quietly presidential choice that favors understated competence over ostentation. At a list price just north of $8,000, it is one of the most recognizable yet genuinely wearable references in the modern Rolex catalogue.
Joe Biden Spotted Wearing Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ref. 210.30.42.20.03.001 houses the manufacture Calibre 8800, a Master Chronometer movement certified by METAS to resist magnetic fields exceeding 15,000 gauss — a specification that eclipses COSC standards by a significant margin. With its 42mm stainless steel case, ceramic bezel insert, and graduated blue dial, this is one of the most technically accomplished dive watches at its price point. Joe Biden was photographed wearing this model as he was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States in January 2021, making it arguably the most scrutinized wrist in the world that day.
