What year is my Tudor?

Pick the brand. Type the number. We’ll tell you when it was most likely made.

How well the number tells the year

Roughly

Where to look

Illustration: a watch with its bracelet taken off, showing the engraving between the lugs.
  • Between the lugs at 6 o’clock on most models, under the bracelet.
  • The reference is between the lugs at 12 o’clock, and on the warranty card.

Ask the maker

Tudor doesn’t offer a public archive. The date on the warranty card is the best record.

Does a matching serial number prove my Tudor is genuine?

No. Real serial numbers are copied onto fakes, so a number that looks right proves nothing on its own. This lookup only estimates when a watch was made. For a proper opinion on authenticity, have the watch inspected with the case back open.

Every answer here is approximate and given to the best of our knowledge, from charts published by dealers and collectors. Watchmakers rarely publish their own.
