Hi I recently bought this watch used and am having a very hard time determining what type of omega it even is. It's a 491 movement and the serial number is 15214565. From that info I was able to determine it was from 1956. Case back is missing so I can not use that as a reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe try a low dome crystal. Touch wider than inside diameter. Lot cheaper than trying to find a case back that fits
