Never done one of these. However the 2 slots opposite the stem look like clips that are grabbing the movement. I would gently probe around there to see if you can release.

The plastic case ring probably has a couple of bosses on the movement side to hold it firmly in the case, but you should still be able to lift it straight out. Get yourself a pair of latex (or vinyl if you're allergic) gloves so you don't leave fingerprints on the movement. Hold the movement down and gently pull up on the case ring with a stout pair of tweezers something like what's shown in the following video.
