Sotheby's auction image added for reference. This is not the same watch of course, but it appears to be in much worse condition, although apparently with a famous owner (Winston Churchill)
I can share a video of the movement if desired. Please message and ask any questions.
Lemania used to make movements for Omega and had a small series boutique manufacturing alongside that. Lemania is recognized nicely in this article: https://www.acollectedman.com/blogs/journal/five-movements-changed-world-part-i
The Lemania 2310 movement or CH27-17P with 17 jewels and seconds and minutes register is touted as the workhorse chronograph movement and greatest movement of all times.

I have owned this beautiful and rare Chronograph since 1996 and only wore it a few times since then on special occasions. It holds time perfectly.
The dial is in mint or near mint condition.
The watchband is branded Kreisler and Genuine Lizard and I bought that many years ago. Possibly worn 5 times since.
