We know this model was not made so late as 1986 so it is made in 1976.Ĥ. Certain models and movements indicate a specific time frame so it is easy to identify the exact year. We look at the model and at the movement. After we identified the serial and the possible year we go deeper. So we can narrow it down to 1976 or 1986. The “water resistant” marking illustrates the fact that the watch was made after ’72-’73 because prior to this the term used was “parawater”. In the example below the first digit is 6 so it can be only a year ending in 6 such as 1956, 1966, 1976 or 1986.Ģ. The first digit is an indication of the year. Those 8 digits show the year and the month. Most of the time over there we have a lot of information regarding the case model, the watch model, the material and, very important in dating one, the serial number. First of all, we turn the watch over and look at the caseback.
