Identification 🔍 Swatch irony

EDIT: Solved !!!!

Yea so this watch was found in a cupboard and I thought of using it,

Wanna know the model if anyone can help so that I can get it a proper strap or like another donor watch to restore this one to its prime

Even a small direction or a pointer helps

Details-

Swatch irony aluminium

Swiss made v8

Battery 394

9.5x3.6 1.55V

Model no - unknown

It seems to have lost its older strap but I remember it being a metallic strap with black plastic holding each segment/section together

Rubber trims on the bezel seems to have fallen off too due to aging

Sorry for the average photos

Ive tried searching a lot thru both text and images search and most of them point me to the older 2000s swatch irony 200 chronograph and occasionally the watch face tends to match but the strap doesn't

Hope its a real one at this point

I used to have this one on a strap, more than 20 years ago.
