Which watch does Jordan Bardella wear?

In our “Who wears what?” column, after Zemmour and Hanouna, it’s time for a politician: Jordan Bardella. Beyond his carefully crafted speeches and impeccably pressed shirts, the president of the Rassemblement National also seems to pay close attention to what he wears on his wrist. And a pleasant surprise for watch enthusiasts: he doesn’t settle for an Apple Watch or some flashy bling monster. No—Bardella makes choices that are as understated as they are coherent, with two particularly noteworthy models: a Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt and a Mido Multifort TV Big Date.

The Baltic Aquascaphe: made in France, with assured style

This is probably the watch Bardella wears most often: a Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt, instantly recognisable thanks to its deep blue dial, unidirectional bezel, and confidently neo-vintage styling. At €720, this diver offers excellent value for money within the French watch landscape.

• 316L stainless-steel case, 39 mm in diameter
• 120-click unidirectional aluminium bezel
• Double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating
• Miyota 9039 automatic calibre, 42-hour power reserve
• 200 m water resistance

Founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec, Baltic is an independent French brand that quickly established itself in the world of accessible, well-built mechanical watches. The company lays claim to an aesthetic inspired by the 1940s to 1960s, with production largely assembled in France.

Jordan Bardella seems to appreciate the Aquascaphe’s versatility, wearing it sometimes on a mesh bracelet, sometimes on a NATO.

This model suggests a clear taste for functional restraint, with a touch of discreet patriotism.

Mido Multifort TV Big Date: the Swiss choice

Another watch spotted on Bardella’s wrist: a Mido Multifort TV Big Date, reference M049.526.11.081.00. More visually imposing, with its rectangular, retro-futuristic TV-shaped case, it delivers a sharp design and a real identity. The price? Around €1,200 new.

• Steel case measuring 40 x 39.2 mm, vintage TV shape
• Anthracite dial with sunburst finish
• Mido Calibre 80 automatic movement (ETA C07.651 base), 80-hour power reserve
• Big Date function at 12 o’clock
• 100 m water resistance

Founded in 1918 in Biel/Bienne (Switzerland), Mido is a Swatch Group brand known for its reliability and accessibility. It is particularly appreciated by enthusiasts of technical, modern watches—without tipping into design excess.

A third mystery watch …

Finally, one last watch has been spotted on Bardella’s wrist during official trips. It is clearly a dive watch with a bezel featuring large numerals, round hour markers, a blue dial, and a metal mesh/Milanese-style bracelet. The display appears to include a day-date window at 3 o’clock. I considered several models (Oris Aquis Date, Seiko 5 Sports, Citizen Promaster, Longines HydroConquest), but none matches exactly.

Here it is:

Thanks to Eric and Dan, loyal readers, we now know it is a Mido Ocean Star 200C. This 42.5 mm diver features a ceramic bezel, a Mido/ETA movement with an 80-hour power reserve, and a date display at 3 o’clock. The price? €1,190.

A tightly controlled style

By choosing understated, well-built watches with retro or classic lines, Jordan Bardella seems to be moving towards a measured, considered image. He is steering clear of flashy timepieces in favour of models that speak to lovers of fine watchmaking—without ostentation.

Choosing Baltic, a French brand, can be seen as a well-judged national nod. As for Mido, it offers a more Swiss contrast, yet one that is just as consistent with his current image: rigour, precision, and technicality.
