For [[Reference:3346|ref. 3346]], the Field Manual lists a 10-ligne Hunter movement; Christie’s, Phillips and Sotheby’s describe 10½-ligne manual movements in individual watches, with jewel counts of 17 or 18 in the catalogues. The book and Phillips call the movement in-house or patented, but the auction image sets reviewed here do not show a movement. No numbered caliber is established, and the size and jewel-count descriptions remain attached to their sources.

For [[Reference:3462|ref. 3462]], auction catalogues also describe a manual 10½-ligne movement, with 17 or 18 jewels. White’s Field Manual gives 10 lignes for the 3346/3462 pair and calls the movement a Hunter. The catalogues identify movement size and jewel count, not a numeric caliber for the 3462.
