Looks like a nice honest example. However, the Cal. 1001 is not as robust as the earlier Cal. 50X and 55X series of movements. Good ones are very good, while bad ones can be difficult to fix.

·I believe these are from the early 1970's. A few PiePan Constellations also have this design, which I happen to find quite attractive. Nice catch.

··ΩF InvestiGatorThere's one like mine for sale on eBay right now. Seller is a dealer, and is asking for about double what I think it's worth, but is accepting offers.
I can PM the link if you are interested.

·Yeah, that's correct for a 168.033 Connie (pic from Omega vintage database):
I'd be more worried about the cracked case...
