Interesting watch. Lume obviously redone, but engraving could point to some kind of government/military background. Their watchmakers was normally more occupied with functionality over finish and lume jobs was not always done to the highest standards. 1944 is too early in terms of dating. I guess it's a mid 1950s watch. If you look at the caseback ref numbers you will se 2541 (the Omega ref) together with its "in house" Lemania reference 174. Here is a catalog picture from a Lemania 1956 catalog showing the ref 174. (Note that Lemania, as most others, used the reference only for the case/movement combination. Dial/hands design was client options).
That was my guess as well. Just liked the anarchist relation better EDIT: The price is really aggresive. Compared to what other (Tissot, Lemania) versions would cost, this is completely bonkers. Anarchists or not
