·Take a look at the numerals on the minutes chapter ring. They are partly hidden by the dial opening! I suspect the case is not original to the movement. Is this watch coming out of somewhere in Europe?

·The case looks like if it is a separate production, i.e. either a case adapted to the movement, or purpose made recently for the movement.
It should have marks at the inside back, either by Omega or alternative case makers like Dennison etc

·That case is delightful but as others have noted,
You’re missing an all important picture, which is the one showing the engravings inside the case back. If the seller hasn’t willingly provided it that’s not a good sign.
The watch is almost worthless as a collectors item if it is not Omega or at least originally made by the Omega importer in the country where the watch was first sold.
I’ve seen many watches on the American market with generic cases adapted to movements imported from Switzerland. Those were not Omega brands but the functioning is the same.
Best regards
