Watch Serial Number Lookup
Concord, a Swiss brand now part of the Movado Group, engraves a serial number on its watches. Here's where to find it and how to check it.
Watch checks & theft reports
A database check is not proof of authenticity or ownership.
Concord typically engraves the serial number on the case back, often alongside the model reference. It's also recorded on the warranty card issued at purchase.
It uniquely identifies your individual watch. Concord does not publish a public consumer serial-to-date decoder, so serial-number conventions vary by model and production period — verify specifics with an authorized dealer or Movado Group customer service.
No, not by itself. A serial number that looks correct doesn't rule out a counterfeit case, so pair a serial check with an inspection for anything you're uncertain about.
Check the case back, between the lugs, the rehaut, the movement, the warranty card and the original box or papers. Locations vary by brand — see the brand guides below.
Most brands also stamp a separate reference or model number. Together, the two numbers identify the exact watch far better than either alone.
Run the serial number through our stolen-watch database to check whether matching watch information has been reported stolen.
A match or a clean result is one data point, not a verdict — compare the watch's details carefully either way.
For a significant purchase, pair your search with authentication from the manufacturer, an authorized dealer or an independent watch specialist.
Concord has operated under different ownership structures over its history and is now part of the Movado Group, alongside brands like Movado itself.

It's engraved on the case back, typically near the reference number, and also recorded on the warranty card issued at purchase.
