This is a sample of a website with a good photo of the watch that Barack wears (in the second photo posted above with him shaking hands with a supporter. I have the same watch in the black tire-tread band.) It is a Choppard Gran Turismo XL - 1000 Miglia.

It was indeed the TAG alex was speaking about. It looks like the black one might also be a TAG Heuer based on a thread at watchuseek.

The gold riders on the bezel and the gold crown are tell-tale. Not a super expensive watch, sub 4k IIRC. The black one in the second picture is more difficult. It is a mechanical chronograph. MIght be something like a Speedmaster (Omega) or a Tag. But the number indexes seem really big, this could speak in favor of Montblanc. For the one in the last picture all bets are off, I have no idea. Doesn't look great I must say. Till The first one with the brown leather strap is definitely a Breitling.

However, I can not so far determine the brand. A good picture of one of Obama’s watches is on page 20 of the Sept. 1 issue of Time Magazine. However, I can not so far determine the brand.
