One way you can check for a counterfeit is to find the model number and look for discrepancies in the number as well as the lettering. If the lettering is misplaced or looks sloppy, then it is likely a counterfeit made by hand, rather than a masterwork by the manufacturer.
Likewise, if there is a discrepancy with the model number, then you know that it is a fake because the manufacturer would not accidentally mislabel their timepiece, especially since each one of their wristwatches go through rigorous quality control checks.
To find the model number on your Movado watch, follow these steps:
- Turn the timepiece upside down to examine the back of the case.
- Locate the words “MOVADO Swiss Made” at the top.
- Look down from this position until you see a set of two numbers.
- Examine the top number. This is the model number.
- Cross-reference the model number with what it should be, using a direct manufacturer resource as a guide.
Do Authentic Movado Watches Have Serial Numbers?
Yes, these wristwatches have serial numbers. To check the serial and reference number, you will need to open the casing as they are located on the back of the inner side of the caseback.
The logo should also be above these numbers, imprinted in all caps and precisely stamped to maintain a clean appearance. To ensure a timepiece is authentic, you should always cross-reference the serial number before purchasing a resale timepiece in person.
