·Hello,
You'll need a watch maker to open it up.

·If you are lucky, the inside caseback of your watch will provide a reference number that matches one of those shown on this advertisement:
To my knowledge these Teddington models were only marketed in Brazil. However, many watches have been repainted to resemble these "red star" watches. The key to knowing if yours is a valid Teddington is the reference number.

··ΩF InvestiGatorI don't see any Omega markings inside, so my guess is that this watch was recased.
The case still could be solid gold. It would need to be tested for purity. Several South American countries including Brazil had very high import fees for gold watch cases in the 1950's.
It was very common for grey market importers to bring in movements and put them in locally made gold cases for sale.
Hope this helps,
