Yes, we are perhaps more used to seeing the EWD code on Ed. Heuer marked watches.

BUT! It's worth noting that EWD is not an export code, but rather a US import code and, if the importing entity remains the same whilst the parent company undergoes changes, then so does the code. It's why Vacheron-Constantin and LeCoultre watches in the US had the same code - the importer (Longines-Wittnauer) was the same in both cases. And why Heuer-produced A&F watches have an AXF code - the importer for them was Abercrombie & Fitch rather than Heuer itself.

The EWD mark is on several of the Dato 45 Landeron movements we have seen - others are blank. The reason? Simply because those watches were not intended for import to the US.
