There should be a set of 8 numbers xxxx-yyyy at 6 o'clock on the dial, as well as on the caseback. There'll also be a serial number on the back. It'll be relatively easy to identify the age and series from there if you can supply them.

does anyone know about these watches? i'm not really a wristwatch person, but i bought one at a flea market. i figured that 30 jewels for $7 has to be a bargain. anyone know where they put 30 jewels anyway? seems to keep perfect time.

This is either a redial or a recase. The front and back should match.
As I suspected, the caseback dates back to August 1967. Seiko movements, esp. their automatics, had a high jewel count prior to 1970. The 8306 powered the Seikomatics and Business A series of watches and were first introduced in 1965. Beat rate is 18'000. A good, solid movement.
