I assume it has a fusee?

Of course it does 🙂

It may be a combination of both, the balance cock doesn't have the same finish as the other bridges, so I'd say it's a replacement from another watch.

What's the dimension of the movement plate (if you can access it).

The dimensions was D:43.0mm d:42,5 H:6.7-6.75mm Got some more pictures also and the movement is older than the case but close enough that it could be the original case for the movement.But i`am not sure about this one.Guess it want matter.I like the movement and the case.I haven`t got any omega movement with so nice finish.

The number 057 stamped into the underside of the balance cock ties in with the serial number of the movement. This tells me that the balance cock is original to the movement.

Thank you very much.That means i got a movement and a case that match.Still wondering about the grade..I think it is a high end finish B grade.But maybe someone will know.Thanks for the help and i learned something today also😀

Omega produced railroad grade watches as well. These were sold under the name Louis Brandt & Freres, in two sizes, and four grades. Many of the parts in yours likely would interchange with an equivalent Brandt. The Brandt models were railroad approved in Canada, but doubtfully in the U S A. I have 2 Brandt grade CCR,19-jewel models. Look closely and you’ll see see distinct similarities in the movements. Louis Brandt founded the watch company Omega.

So maybe my movement was for the us/Canada marked ?Do you know when they started having the serial number visible in front of the movement and not on the dial side?
