If it matches the digital card it's a couple of years old max.
On the back of your watch, look for the model number, this is the one that starts with a letter and is normally 5 digits (A13550 for example). Follow down from this to the edge of the case back and you'll find a smaller number, 7-8 digits, this is your serial and should match the COSC number on the digital card.
The watch case will be engraved with a production date, but this is between the lugs under the bracelet. If you're going to have a go at finding it, get a proper bracelet removal tool as a slip with a screwdriver will murder the back of your brand new watch.
Thanks for the reply, I thought if a watch is purchased as new it should be made within that year or am i incorrect at that?
cheers
