Check out this other post. I think it's hiding under the strap tab. Should have added about the battery. What 301 Battery? Should be SR43SW not LR43SW

Yes, I think yours is recased. The bezel, the case and the crystal look wrong. Plus it has a bracelet on fixed lugs ? Sorry, I've not been on here much. I tried to unscrew the internal locking ring, but in the end decided to simply keep the original crystal in situ and polish it. Looks way better and has a nice bit of patina to it. I have finished the watch now. Just needs regulating, as it's running a bit fast.

Hi. I doubt you would find an Omega reference number. You will have to measure the holes and pivots, and then order the jewels from a supplier such as Cousins (if you are in the UK). But you will need a jewelling tool to fit them. The other option is to buy a scrap movement and swap the bridges. It's unusual for jewels to be missing like that. It could be that someone has been using the movement for parts and swapping them with poorer quality. Does the rest of the movement look OK?

Thanks Andy the 301 battery had leaked slightly which I cleaned out carefully. I used a 301 battery, but it never worked how do you get the back off if I need to as there is nothing to prise off or turn. See attached photo with battery compartment open.
