Sure is a great find. Now you've got me wondering. I have this old Omega I bought in the Navy Exchange in Eleuthera, BWI in 1964. I remember my first consideration was that the watch be thin, had a sweep second hand and that's about all. So, I picked this one, wore it for a couple of days and it stopped! Took it back to the store and they advised that I had to wind it. I assumed that all Omegas were self winding!! Anyway, I wonder what model it is. I don't want to mess up the back and not sure what the proper method is to remove it. Don't want to scratch it up.

Dave, your right. The bezel with crystal can be taken off with a knife, then you can lift the movement out. Actually a two-piece case since the bezel can be taken off.
