Movado Pocket Watch Serial Numbers



Hi,

Numbers

Movado Watch Lookup


Movado Pocket Watch Serial NumbersIt's my understanding that, prior to 1963, Movado wristwatches had six-digit serial numbers, that started with the movement caliber number and then counted up sequentially from there; i.e., the first Cal.150-powered watch would be 150001, the one thousand and first 151001, etc. Yet, I notice that a 1940 Movado 6B/159 I have has a five-digit serial, while a 1942 6B/159 has a seven-digit number! Both have Cal.75 movements and stainless steel cases.

MovadoAs if Movado's serial numbering system wasn't complicated enough, perhaps there were exceptions to the six-digit rule?
Any guidance would be appreciated!
