Cal. 645 belongs to the Cal. 600 family and shares the A.260 size code with Cal. 635. The distinctions are functional: Cal. 630 has sweep seconds without shock protection, Cal. 635 has small seconds with shock protection, and Cal. 645 combines sweep seconds with shock protection. Cal. 645 powered the semi-Bubbleback Oyster Perpetual refs 6084, 6085, and 6284 around 1948–1953. Auction catalogues give 17 to 20 jewels, consistent with both differing counting conventions and market-specific tariff variants found elsewhere in the family.

Heritage's 2012 lot for case 803'752 lists the movement as F 64550 but does not name a caliber; the matching digits do not establish Cal. 645.

Catalogue labels for ref. 6085 do not agree.

Since A.260 is a size-family code rather than a unique commercial caliber name, keep each label tied to its listing unless the movement itself can be checked.
