Russian?
That is not a bad guess for as we all know that there is a Czech (USSR) copy of a humming Bulova movement from the 1960/70s and even a Chinese one of that time.
Maybe some pictures of the casing could help?
I say "Russian" because I have come across some similar movements. Thin automatics without a sweep second hand. No markings anywhere.
I don't care if it's an Omega or not, I just want to know who made the movement.
I thought this was a theoretical exercise to see who may have made the movement but it seems that you aren't interested in whether it's an Omega movement, or not.
I could be wrong but, what you seem to have done is created a fake Omega Constellation. I'm happy to be corrected but, that's how it looks.

I don't care if it's a "fake" or not. I'm interested in the movement only.
I agree @ConElPueblo , there was nothing malevolent here. But, once you put that movement in an Omega case, then it seems to be the very definition of fake. The other watch appeared to be dial and movement only so, it wasn't a complete watch.
What's the reference in the case back? That will tell you what calibre should be in there, if it were a real Omega.
I realize you don't care that it's a fake but others may, including the guys who run the forum and specifically will not allow discussions of fakes watches.
Enjoy your watches.

I think the main point here is that no-one is intending foul play. To me, the most plausible answer is that it is some kind of Omega prototype rather than a put-together.
The case looks like the ones used on the ultra-thin Constellations of the seventies, but apparently lacking any markings.
Had it been a Franken, those markings would have been present. Had it been a fake, I seriously doubt that
a) a rather high-end, unknown movement would have been chosen.
b) the dial would have been this good.
c) it would have been this particular case shape. It has to one of the least collectible Constellations out there.
Let us not forget that this was a time where Omega tried out a lot of new stuff with varying success. IMO, the existense of another one with the same dial type speaks volumes.
