Looking for a movement for this Heuer chrono

I picked this up at a show and thought it would make a great daily wearer. I liked the fact that it looks like the Pilot but is pre-TAG. It is all NOS, everything is there - except the movement! Hands, stem/crown fit onto a plastic piece inserted into the case. Maybe a salesman's sample? I don't know for sure.


The inner plastic piece that the hands are mounted on says "Lemania 183" which I assume is the movement. Inner back case says SA 183. Looks like it could take the same 3-reg date at 3 movement as Pilot Quartz Reference 230.006.

Can anybody help on sourcing a movement to get this puppy onto my wrist?

I'm normally not big on quartz watches but I also like the fact that this was late in the pre-TAG game.

Thanks in advance - Bill Mahoney
