Recent Omega watches usually carry their serial number somewhere on the back but they will be in extremely small laser-etched digits requiring a magnifier to read. Older Omega watches may only have the serial number on the inside of the watch, requiring a jeweler to open it for you. A serial number might also be inscribed here, but that is the serial number of the case, not the watch itself. Look for inscribed markings on the back of the watch mechanism, under the cuvette. This is where many manufacturers inscribed the name and location of the factory that produced the watch. Note the thick hands, engraved patterns and bold design of all of these watches. These watches are typical of the 'Deco' style of the teens and 20's. The Elgin and Hamilton were dated by serial number, while the Gruen was dated by an inscription on the back. The 'New Haven' was dated by looking at the style of the watch. I learned from Croton rep that the company went out of business 20 years ago and the name was purchased and a new watch company formed however the history of these watches seems lost and certainly not as well organized as MyBulova.com. Taking the watch apart it seems both companys had beautiful swiss movements very similar.
There are no number tables that I am aware of to cross reference the date of manufacture with the serial number. The serical numbers were simply for identification purposes only. In the late 40's Bulova began using a series of codes to denote the manufacture date.
Locating your Rolex serial number
The serial number of your watch is engraved on the case at the 6 o'clock end between the lugs. You will need to remove the bracelet/strap to see it. The model reference is engraved in the same place at the 12 o'clock end. As of August 2010, serial numbers for new Rolex watches are randomized, making it impossible to use the numbers for dating purposes.
