Tudor Serial Numbers with Production Dates & Years

An interesting thing to point out about Tudor serial numbers is that at the beginning of the Tudor brand, and a long time into its history, Tudor used Rolex cases for its watches. As such, the serial number of Tudor watches are found in the same place as they would be found on a Rolex watch. This means that they are engraved between the lugs at the 6 o’clock position and engraved into the case behind where the bracelet is attached.

At the 12 o’clock position, you will find the watch’s reference number. Note, however, that this is only the case for older watches.

Modern Tudor watches have the reference number and serial number placed on the undersides of the lugs. This is done for strategic reasons, as accessing the serial number of an older Tudor watch means you have to remove the bracelet.
