The caliber 330 is 17 jewels and is 7-3/4 x 11 ligne or 17.2mm x 24.81mm. It is the second Curvex movement that was produced by Gruen. This caliber is usually marked with the number next to the mainspring barrel on the exposed underside of the top plate.

Interesting detail is that the 330 was initially produced with a single center bridge. Gruen changed to a split layout with separate escape wheel cock apparently in the fall of 1938 to improve serviceability (information I recall having from Cary).

Thanks! I'd forgotten about this too.
