I got an eye on an Omega Constellation Chronograph, mid size (38mm), 56009765, 1542.40.

Looks new, but the low price (~~~ $1,100) tells me it must have significant miles on it.

Hopefully someone can tell me the approximate .date-of-mfg.

Thanks in advance, Don.

Bingo ! ...thanks.
1998...these puppies hold their value

 

WAIT!!!!!! is 56009765 the serial number for the constellation you're looking at ?

 

I am no looking at this....I just spent my Christmas $$$$ on a new Speedmaster.

 

ok good because that serial number was for a 300 pro
good stuff glad you didn't go with it.
