It’s a bit chicken and egg. The reference number is inside the caseback, you don’t have and you’d usually use this to search for parts.
1430 is the movement caliber.
You’re going to need to compare your watch to others on Google and find a match for the case to get the reference number and use that to try and find a spare caseback. Don’t worry about trying to find a match for the dial - a single case ref can have multiple dial types.

Thanks for the quick respons, so you mean search the watch with a picture and then find the reference number of the watch that I found to buy a backcase with the reference number I need?

Yeah search eBay, either reverse image search or just by using a description, to find a match for your to confirm the case reference (unless you happen to know it)

It does seem to be a good match. Make sure the diameters are the same.
