There are three main ways to find your Swatch model. First, you can check the box or warranty booklet, if you still have them. If you don't, you can have an experienced dealer or knowledgeable appraiser evaluate and identify your watch for you. You can also conduct online research yourself using brand catalogues and trusted databases. To utilize these references, you will first need to measure the case diameter, case thickness, strap width and lug-to-lug distance in millimeters. It will also be helpful to note the crown position, the strap material, the dial design and any special features your watch has, such as a date window or chronograph buttons.
