In our “Who wears what?” section. », after Zemmour and Hanouna, place for a politician: Jordan Bardella. In addition to his calibrated speeches and his impeccably ironed shirts, the president of the National Rally also seems to take a certain amount of care with what he wears on his wrist. And a nice surprise for watch enthusiasts: it's not just an Apple Watch or a flashy monster. No, Bardella makes choices that are as sober as they are consistent, with two notable models in particular: a Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt and one Mido Multifort TV Big Date.
This is probably the watch that Bardella wears most often: a Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt, recognizable by its deep blue dial, its unidirectional bezel and its unapologetic neo-vintage style. At 720 euros, this diver represents excellent value for money in the French watchmaking landscape.
Founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec, Baltic is an independent French brand that has quickly established itself in the world of accessible and well-built mechanical watches. The house boasts an aesthetic inspired by the 1940s-1960s, with production mainly assembled in France.
Jordan Bardella seems to appreciate the versatility of the Aquascaphe, which he sometimes wears on a mesh bracelet, sometimes on a NATO.
This model shows a certain taste for functional sobriety, with a touch of discreet patriotism.
Another watch spotted on Bardella’s wrist: a Mido Multifort TV Big Datereference M049.526.11.081.00. More visually imposing, with its rectangular case in a retro-futuristic style, it offers a clear design and a real identity. Its price? Around 1200 euros new.
Founded in 1918 in Bienne (Switzerland), Mido is a Swatch Group brand recognized for its reliability and accessibility, it is particularly appreciated by fans of technical and modern watches without falling into design overkill.
Finally, one last watch was seen on Bardella's wrist during official trips. It is obviously a diver's watch with a bezel with large numbers, round indexes, a blue dial, and a mesh or Milanese metal mesh bracelet. The display appears to include a day-date window at 3 o'clock. I thought of several models (Oris Aquis Date, Seiko 5 Sports, Citizen Promaster, Longines HydroConquest), but none fit exactly.
Here it is:

By choosing sober, well-constructed watches with retro or classic lines, Jordan Bardella seems to be taking a step towards a measured and thoughtful image. He abandons flashy watches for models that appeal to lovers of beautiful watchmaking without ostentation.
The choice of a Baltic, a French brand, can be seen as a well-felt national nod. As for the Mido, it offers a more Swiss contrast but just as consistent with its current image: rigor, precision, and technicality.
