How to identify vintage Movado: The Guide. Movado watch lookup, search serial number model reference 

Movado is the first watch I purchased with my own money 20 year ago. A gift to myself for my first job. I still have my Movado Meza. It’s the one that started it all for me. The beginning of my collection of watches.

Crazy didn’t know Movado watches were produced in 1966 which is the year I was born. My dad got me one to wear for my wedding in 1999. Before that he and my mom got me a Tag Haeur from Switzerland when they were in vacation in Europe. He just passed away this May my mom passed 2 days before xmas 2023. Thanks mom and dad I miss you immensely.

Good video!! Vintage Movado are underrated pieces. Will save it for use in the future.

Wow! Thank you so much for providing this information and links to the identification charts. I picked up a 28 jewel Kingmatic Sub Sea, with issues, from an antique fair around March of this year. I just received it after being serviced and it runs and operates perfectly now. What a beauty. With your information, I was able to identify this as a reference 55291 (gold filled with stainless case back) with the caliber 538. Once the information was explained by you, it was easy to cross-reference. However, no production date is referenced for that specific movement. Just above this listing, there's a reference for the 531 (536) with production years from 1960 to 1967. After further research, it appears the 538 shares DNA with the 531 and 536 movements, the 538 being the automatic with a quick set date. Based on the reference number, this would have been manufactured as early as 1960 but prior to 1966, when the new numbering system was implemented, correct? The inside case back has a three digit (serial?)number just above the reference, # 188, rather than a longer alpha numeric serial number featured on the chronograph in your video. Would this help to identify the specific year the watch was manufactured?

Wonderful video. I have an old movado sport with sub seconds at 6 position that looks from the late 40s. Ref number 18136. According to the table is either a cal 125,127 or 128. Unfortunately all say 17 jewels where as in the watch it is clearly engraved 15 jewels.

Hello! I just came across a Movado watch at an estate sale. I am wondering if you can help me correctly identify what I have? This is very confusing and hard for me to understand (lol)! Thank you in advance if so, any help is much appreciated!

I scoured your site and loved both the site and this video. I've used it on many of my Movado watches. But I kind of had the same issue as your sample watch from Eric. I'd love to know how old my 95M is, but the range is too wide. Mine has a serial number of A101891, and a model number of 19039. I saw a catalog page online showing the 19039 as being steel and 18k, and the watch is indeed steel and rose gold. It has an arrow head dial, with the kris (snake) sub hands. It also has a tachymeter on the outer edge of the dial, so it differs from all the others I've seen online that have arrow head dials because there's no room for a "6" marker. Any thoughts on age?

I have a Movado watch serial #390822 with model # 87-07-860 which belonged to my late husband. Although with a Movado watch he was never "late"! I can't seem to find your website and found this video, not only entertaining, but so well done. My husband's family came from the Ukraine and landed in Chicago, IL, so from one Ukrainian to the wife of Ukrainian gent, would you be able to help me?

Wonderful video ❤
