jamespowers said:Your Constellation is very similar to mine. The difference being that mine has numbers at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 and mine does not have the word Constellation on the dial. Mine is from 1952. What year was yours made? They were made between 1952 and 1980 so there are variations. Some say the first were made in 1949 but records are sketchy at best. Don't worry about the wrong crown as the movement was also used in the Seamaster. Mine came with the same crown yours has.
You can get an idea of what was made when from here:

James, thanks for the link, useful information . I'm not in a position to pop the back off, but I got my watch guy to look it over when I got it. Going from memory, its a 24 jewel movement adjusted to 5 positions. The serial number matches a 1958 manufacture.
