·The reference and caliber numbers will be inside the case-back and on the movement itself, respectively. TBH, a user's manual is not necessary. For a manual wind watch like this, you simply turn the crown until it can't be turned any more, at that point the mainspring is fully wound.

·I was recently talking with a friend who had a very similar looking watch. http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2019/12/omega-tresor-database.html had a lot of good information. There's a link to a file that contains tons of specific details.

·Don’t be worried about overwinding it. It’s a myth unless you go way past when it stops.
basically when the mainspring is fully wound, the watch winding will stop. There is a little springiness in it as the ratchet wheel has a click and click spring. If you roll up you Sleeve and do some push ups and steroids then decide to wind it further then that, well you risk breaking the mainspring and over winding.
Old style mainsprings are more at risk of breaking but wether it’s fully wound or not it will break when its time comes. Nothing you can do about that.

·I’m not an omega expert like the rest of the guys here so take this amateur appraisal with a grain of salt, I have a late 60’s 601 wind up seamaster, yours in comparison looks like an early 60’s judging by the case. The dial placed it in the 60’s. Probably a 286 wind up but again could be wrong.
Easiest way to know is to remove the caseback and check 2 numbers, the serial number on the movement will tell you the date on a serial number check.
The reference is the one on the inside of the caseback. And obviously a cal number on the movement itself .
