The Importance of TUDOR Serial Numbers
Serial numbers are crucial for a variety of reasons, including authenticity verification and dating. Because TUDOR doesn’t provide an official list of serial numbers, it can be challenging to date these watches accurately. However, we have compiled an extensive list of TUDOR serial numbers to help guide TUDOR lovers and collectors in understanding their precious timepieces better.
Where to Find Your TUDOR Serial Number
TUDOR watches initially used Rolex cases, meaning the serial numbers are found in the same spot as they would be on a Rolex — engraved between the lugs at the 6 o’clock position, behind where the bracelet is attached. However, modern TUDOR watches have the serial number and reference number on the underside of the lugs, which is strategically better as accessing the serial number of an older TUDOR watch would require removing the bracelet.
TUDOR Reference Number vs. Serial Number
The reference and serial numbers of a TUDOR watch serve different purposes. The serial number is unique to each timepiece and can be likened to a social security number. It provides specific information about the watch, such as its production year. In contrast, the reference number is essentially a model number used by all watches of a particular model.
The Evolution of TUDOR Serial Numbers
Up until 2002, you could find the year of a TUDOR watch using its serial number. However, post-2002, TUDOR started using random serial numbers, making it virtually impossible to date the watches without the original warranty card.
Dating Your TUDOR Watch with Random Serial Numbers
With the introduction of random serial numbers, dating a TUDOR watch has become more challenging. If you have the original warranty card for your watch, the purchase date should be present, providing an accurate idea of the watch’s age. Unfortunately, without this, dating your TUDOR watch can be a complex task.
Final Thoughts
Decoding the serial number of a TUDOR watch can be an engaging exploration into the brand’s rich history. Even if it’s a bit complicated, it adds another layer to the intriguing world of watchmaking.
