Hey all, I recently got this and am wondering if anyone could help me identifying the model.
It’s obviously a little worse for wear, but I’m not bothered by that!

From what I can gather the movement was made in 1934! Any additional help would be great! I’ve been able to find similar cases through reverse image search, and listings on eBay - but nothing with a similar dial.

Thanks!

I doubt it has any particular model name.

Nice! Looks all original as well. Look under the balance
wheel and you will find the caliber. Maybe this can help you
to widen your search👍

You just need a magnifying glass.

ah yes it is a 265! Is that a different 265 to some 1950s watches I’ve seen? E.g https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375048198567

Also took the front off to see the extent of the dial damage, it looks like the bottom half of the dial was completely soaked?

Perhaps @Tire-comedon can chime in regarding the reference.
