Okay, so I saw this “Joe Biden Rolex” thing trending and, like everyone else, I got curious. I wanted to figure out what the big deal was, and what kind of Rolex the President actually wears. Here’s what I did:
Digging In
First, I just started with a simple search. I typed in “Joe Biden Rolex” and, boom, tons of articles and images popped up. It was a bit overwhelming, honestly.
I started clicking through some of the articles. Most of them were talking about the same thing: the Rolex he wore at his inauguration. It seemed like that was the main watch people were interested in.
Identifying the Watch
From the pictures I saw, it was clear the watch had a blue dial and a steel bracelet. It definitely looked like a Datejust, which is a classic Rolex model. But I wanted to be sure, you know?
I spent some time comparing the photos with images of different Datejust models. I looked at the bezel (the ring around the crystal), trying to see if it was smooth or fluted (with those little ridges). It looked smooth to me.
Then I focused on the bracelet. It looked like a Jubilee bracelet, the one with the five-piece links. I compared it to the Oyster bracelet, which has three-piece links, and it definitely wasn’t that.
The Conclusion
Based on what I saw, I’m pretty confident that the watch Joe Biden wore at his inauguration was a stainless steel Rolex Datejust with a smooth bezel, blue dial, and a Jubilee bracelet.
- Model: Rolex Datejust
- Case: Stainless Steel
- Bezel: Smooth
- Dial: Blue
- Bracelet: Jubilee
It is a beautiful watch, and it must be said to suit him very well!
