Politician Joe Biden spotted wearing Omega

Joe Biden's election as the 46th President of the United States has sparked conversation not only about politics, but also about his fashion choices. In an article published by InStyle Magazine, the newly elected Democratic representative was seen sporting a classic stainless steel Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

The iconic Omega Speedmaster watch series has an important place in history, having been used during all six of the Lunar Missions. It is said that inside Biden's watch lies the cal.1861, a movement virtually identical to the one which accompanied man to the moon for the first time. Biden's choice of the Speedmaster Moonwatch has certainly made a statement about his taste in watches.

Interestingly, Biden opted for the hesalite crystal version of the watch, which has a slightly different appearance from the sapphire crystal version. The hesalite crystal is considered the more 'vintage' option, and offers a unique look that many collectors find appealing.

The watch Biden wore had the model reference 311.30.42.30.01.005 and a list price of €5,000. With Omega's reputation for quality and reliability, it's no surprise that this watch has attracted the attention of watch collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Not only has Biden's choice of watch sparked conversation about his fashion sense, it has also highlighted the timeless elegance and significance of the Omega Speedmaster watch series. It will be interesting to see if Biden continues to showcase his love for this iconic timepiece throughout his presidency.
