Hi,
Movado is one of the most shining examples of why Swiss watches are consistently heralded as the most reliable. Known for its signature design with a simple dot at the top center of the watch face, every watch is an homage to the sun’s placement at high. Locate the two sets of numbers on the back of the case. You will see 'MOVADO Swiss Made' at the top and the numbers will be toward the bottom. The top number is the model number. On most new Movado watches, the model number will begin with 260 or 06.
Turn the watch face down so you are looking at the back of the watch case. Locate the two sets of numbers on the back of the case.

Zenith is an old and well-respected legendary Swiss watchmaker. Founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, the company has a long and rich history. Zenith is perhaps most known for its legendary chronograph El Primero movement, which in itself is an important caliber for the whole watch industry.
It'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.
Here are photos of the inside of the casebacks:

As if Movado's serial numbering system wasn't complicated enough, perhaps there were exceptions to the six-digit rule?
