The Omega serial number decoder

Find the date of an Omega by serial number

An Omega watch will have its serial number either laser etched in tiny digits on the case back or for older watches it may be on the inside of the case or the movement itself. It will be a number (no letters) between 5 and 9 digits long. This tool can date any Omega watch from 1895 to 2011. Omega Speedmaster serial numbers did not run in line with non-Speedmaster serial numbers so please select which type you have. If you have a Speedmaster it will be clearly marked on the back of the case. The number containing dots, spaces and possibly letters is not the serial number, that's the Omega case reference or model which can be decoded using the Omega model decoder. This tool is based on a database of serial numbers of watches with known manufacture dates and should be accurate to within a year or two, which can help verify its authenticity. If you need more accuracy, you will need to consult an Omega specialist.

You can also look up the date from the Omega movement/caliber etched directly on the movement using the Omega movement database.
