How do I identify my Rado watch?

How do I identify my Rado watch?
To identify your Rado watch, check for a serial number. On the back of an authentic Rado watch case, there should be an 8-digit serial number engraved by the manufacturer. 

For a Rado serial number check, visit the “Service” section of Rado’s official website. The watch’s serial number can be used to secure a copy of the user manual for your timepiece when you enter the number into the company’s database. When you download a copy of the manual, your serial number can be used to identify your Rado watch’s movement caliber. Information about your watch’s movement caliber can be found in the user manual. 

There aren’t registered serial numbers for Rado watches manufactured prior to 1966. For Rado watches made before 1966, the brand recommends that watch owners use the watch’s reference number to find the piece’s movement caliber. 

Contact the Rado service team via the company’s website for any questions about your timepiece.
