It shares some Lemania similarities (Chrono bridge on the left, balance below etc).

Closest I could find with a quick search is an EP 201, not identical, but there are familial similarities.

Good morning, thank you for your research , to be honest ,I didn’t know where to start , the movement is so incredible to look at , it looks more pristine in reality than in the pictures, when I opened the caseback couldn’t take my eyes off of it, and the way it works , so smooth , especially the pushers , oh just pure pleasure , besides , I have many, many chronos , mostly 321 family 😊 but this one it feels somewhat different, thank you again , if I may ask , how about the dial ? it doesn’t have the tahymeter scale , thanks , good day , kazd

EP 4.0
Good morning and thank you for your research and reply , I don’t know anything about this movement , except that it’s a pleasure to look at , my 321 family chronos are fun but this one , somehow it’s a different feeling, question ? Is this a good movement , maybe worth to dig deeper into it since I have the watch and I intend to keep and enjoy it , the case is not waterproof,so have to be careful , I keep all my watches with plenty of humid absorbing silica around , this maybe a Sunday watch to wear lol, regards , love you guys , good day , kazd

It’s a sought after movement. Multichron 12hr EP 40. Sadly your pics are terrible. Is the dial stained or is it shadow? Looks like the case is rough. Better pics in sunlight might be helpful. There used to be a decent website on vintage Gallet. It seems to have vanished with its aquisition by Breitling.

good morning, thank you for your reply , and sorry for my armature picture taking , still working on this 😊 the dial is perfect clean not stained , it is a shadow from the light above, also much shadow distortion of the movement ,case is clean , sharp , minor hair scratches, thank you for the info. glad to know now that this movement is a valuable , the dial doesn’t have the tahymeter section around , not sure if this is just variant of the dial, will try to take better, detailed pictures. by the daylight , it is a truly stunning watch , I got it from collector in Canada , came fresh out of his watchmaker’s shop after complete service, I really admire the look and feel of this movement , besides the family of 321s that I have 10 of them , best regards , good day , kazd

That movement looks pretty dirty. I’d question the claim about it seeing a “watchmaker “ …My watch …
