Hi Jerry, and welcome to the forum.

If the engraving on the back is accurate, you have a 1332 movement. This movement was produced in the 1970s and 1980s. If you can open the case back, please post pics of the movement and the inside case back to help ID.

Best wishes!

Try using the eBay advanced search for SOLD items and look for similar quartz Constellations.

If it is that exact watch with golden band would you agree that it is only worth approx. $300 usd?

Maybe less. These are not desirable.

If you see quartz on the dial you can usually rule out the early retirement although there are always exceptions and some like to live sparsely in retirement so all things are possible.

the exception says marine chronometer on it. 😉

Ya I was thinking an original Ashton and probably a few dozen at least others I don’t know that’s why I say “usually” very rarely do blanket statements “cover” everything. I should also say I’m not anti quartz I’m wearing one now unfortunately back in the day I bought a quartz Rolex which I liked I just wasn’t hip to the scene at the time.

It is handy to have a quartz in the collection for those times where you just need to quickly put on a watch and go.
I have a couple. It’s handy.
