Based on the C-case, it has to date from between 1964-1978. Based on the dial, with the placement of Constellation below the 12:00 position and the applied Omega logo over the 6, it looks like it might be a Ref. 168.0056 from the later stages of that time period, powered by a 1000 series movement, likely a Cal. 1011.
Or it could just be a frankenwatch. With eBay, you never know.

Thank you so much
@Aurelian and @Omeganut How‘d I do? 10 out of 10?
Your best bet is to remove the caseback, which is most likely threaded (screwed on) to the case. The reference number will be on the inner caseback and the serial number on the movement can be used to date the watch.

Dude! I know NOTHING about vintage! But, ask me about spring drive, and I can tell you... smooth sweep of seconds hand is really soothing, for when I want to be super chill...

But, but, but…you’re the Omega Nut…it’s literally your handle!

I have spent the last few minutes on the Omega website and
If the movement checks out it would be a '72.

The caliber should specifically be a 1011: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Omega_1011
My dear colleagues,
Did nobody see the missing piece on the Bezel? You should, contact omegaenthusiastltd.com/ and ask him what he makes of that fault. The man is an Omega Vintage expert. Something I could only aspire to be, really.
I hope the price you paid was fair. Great watch, but not without it's flaws.
