Revue Thommen is a watch brand that produces a wide variety of wristwatch styles. It appears, at least at this time, that the brand only has automatic watches in their catalog.
Various off-the-shelf watch movements are used in their collection, typically featuring a laser engraved logo on the rotor.
Revue Thommen does not rename each movement with their own caliber numbers, however, they make use of multiple calibers for most models. For example, their GMT Diver is listed as having either a Sellita SW330-1, Soprod C125, or ETA 2893-2. Although they do not have their own designations, the possibility of finding a different calibre in the same model is what Caliber Corner refers to as Forrest Gump Movements.
With that said, if it’s important to you to have a specific caliber, you may want to contact RT directly before placing your order. If you are considering a used Revue Thommen watch and want to figure out the caliber, you can try to use the chart below and compare the movement to the possible calibers – look for rotor design, jewel counts, etc.

Brand History and Information:
Like many Swiss heritage watch brands, Revue Thommen claims a watchmaking history that stretches back to 1853. Rather than try to explain the timeline of partnerships, buying and selling of brand licensing, company divisions and restructuring, feel free to navigate your way through the Revue Thommen Wikipedia page. The brand’s official history can be found here, here, and here.
Confusingly (possibly a result of the passing around of the brand name), Revue Thommen appears to have multiple websites:
