OMEGA Watches - Serial Number check - The Complete Guide
Omega Serial Numbers Check
You can find below all the important info that will enable you to identify your watch: Year of production ( the serial number will identify this), and related reference numbers (or PIC numbers).
Serial Numbers
Starting from around 1894,the Omega brand has been using serial numbers to identify each watch produced, starting with 1,000,000. These serial numbers consist of seven or eight digits, with each number being assigned sequentially, except for some exceptions.
This system was used by Omega until around 2019 when they reached the number 99,999,999. Instead of using nine-digit reference numbers, Omega switched to randomized eight-digit numbers, similar to Rolex’s serial numbers
Reference Numbers And PIC Numbers
Omega’s PIC (Product Identification Code) numbers are essentially the same as their reference numbers. These numbers are used to classify each watch based on its model, materials, functions, and features, and Omega has used four different systems for this over time.
Prior to 1962, the code consisted of two letters and four digits.
