Watch Serial Number Lookup
Victorinox Swiss Army, best known for its multi-tool knives, also produces watches under the Victorinox brand. Here's where to find the serial number and how to check it.
Watch checks & theft reports
A database check is not proof of authenticity or ownership.
Victorinox typically engraves or stamps the serial number on the case back, often alongside the model name and reference. It's also recorded on the warranty card issued at purchase.
It uniquely identifies your individual watch. Victorinox 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.
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.

Serial-number conventions vary by model and production period, so an authorized Victorinox dealer is the right source to verify a specific watch's details.
It's engraved or stamped on the case back, often alongside the model name, and also recorded on the warranty card issued at purchase.
Watches once marketed under the "Swiss Army" name are produced by Victorinox, the same company known for its multi-tool knives; today the watches are marketed under the Victorinox name.
