Won't be cheap my friend....unless you get lucky, altho that depends on what you see as 'cheap'??? They can be £300 - £500 depending where you look??
These date from late 60's, early 70's and have the Lemania 1341 mov't, and what defines this model is the unusual strap, which kinda looks like armour plating, hence the name!!
I've got two with a different case and strap....here's my fave

Thanks, just won it last night on Ebay. Was searching for a Lemania 1341 movement watch to add to my chronograph collection and decided this was a good way to go. The Wakmann and Omega watches with this movement weren't as unique in my opinion. The "lobster" descriptor is most closely associated with the Omega Speedsonic Chronograph, but also used with this watch.
Thanks for the compliment.
The Lemania 1341 movement is a cam lever 1/8 second integrated automatic chronograph. The center seconds and minute register layout is a defining attribute, just like on the later developed Lemania 5100. Here is an excellent write up on the movement.
I managed to buy this for $450 after Bing Cashback and Ebay Buck discounts. Deals like this are why I never buy new watches and focus on collecting vintage watches.
