    unfortunately no entry in the Omega database for this reference 2395...

    Seems to have a Cal 28 (later 360) and watch looks all original.

    Hope this is of some help

    No, it is definitely not a cal. 265! it is a cal. 28 or 360 (as it was called later with new Omega movement nomenclature) as I already stated in my first reply.

    Look a bit more closely - the bridges are different - and compare ratchet and crown wheels...

    And there is a much wider bevel on the edge of the movement!

    I hope I didn't appear to be contradicting what you said. Having looked at the two images again, I don't see the differences you are referring to. But anyway, let's call you correct, and me wrong!

    http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Omega_28

    The Omega 28 (according to the Ranfft archive) has an indirect sweep seconds feature.

    Firstly I want to say that I do not make statements just for being right... and I do not like to blame others to be wrong...

    But as you don´t believe me I want to show you how many more differences there are between the 2 movements - I have mounted the 2 pictures side by side in the same orientation and have marked the differences of cal. 28 (360) with red arrows:

    comparison.jpg


    1) different position of the click
    2) ratchet and crown wheels have a bevel on the edge and polished teeth in this area
    3) different movement holding screws (domed vs flat at the Cal. 30 family movements) plus other position to one of the bridge screws
    4) different position of the serial number
    5) different angle at this point of the bridge
    6) different position of these 3 jewels
    7) no shock protector
    8) much wider bevel on the edge of the movement

    Are these enough differences?

    A = Advance = Fast

    R = Retard = Slow

    If it's running a minute fast, then using a toothpick (or other non-metallic object) move the pointer slightly towards "R" to slow it down.

    However, from the pictures, it looks as if the watch hasn't been serviced in some time.

    Might want to consider that before running it too often.

    I see now there is a vast difference between the two movements. Thanks for pointing them out. Regarding my original post, please note I placed a question mark after the number 265.

    The 28 cal has a bevel around the edge of the movement. It isalso 28mm.
