Hey Headfiers,

I was wondering if headfiers could help me identify some awesome gear that Obama uses?

Obama's Sunglasses:

What brand and model is it? I want it, it looks so cool.

Obama's watch:

Can anyone identify this?

You're looking for Ray Ban RB 3217, Color 006/71.

The watch seems to be the Secret Service chronograph given to him by the Secret Service. It's not readily available for purchase by the public. His previous watch seems to be a Tag Heuer Series 1500.

You an obsessed fanboy or something? :O

I generally play for the other team.

Really, just bored at work and it was a couple of quick Google searches.

Here's a better image to run the comparison off of. Dink around with the brightness/contrast levels a bit (to contrast the frame from the lens) and it's a good match.

I kinda lost interest in Ray Ban...i used to like their aviator sunglasses a lot.

i still love the aviators, nothing like aviators for driving, they are just purrrfect.

Speaking of watches, the links Drag0n posted have a pic of him with his family, the watch is very clearly seen in that photo. Looks kinda neat actually.
