I think it is a JLC - there is a version of the Polaris face that looks a lot like that watch.

However, that Cellini is a close match as well.

As a JLC enthusiast, I am stumped.

I would guess a Memovox (plongeur/polaris), from lugs, but the dial looks close to the celini above. But not lugs or case. My humble 2c (The Polaris is dificult to get ...)

Ebay, the manufacturer is HMT, Indian seller who had several more. I paid something like $60, shipping included.

Mind you, they're not great quality. I've worn it for about a week, and it's kept time so far. That's all I can promise.

A Sturhling Original with reserve dial. Fairly inexpensive but nice looking and it keeps good time (at least so far
