A pulse timing analysis of X-ray pulsar OAO 1657-415 with the Tenma and Ginga satellites is presented. The long-term pulse period history shows a spin-up trend, with an average rate of -0.001/yr. An upper limit to a(x) sin i of 3 lt-s was obtained for the projected semimajor axis for a range of orbital periods of 1 to 6 d. The X-ray spectrum obtained with Ginga was found to be typical of those of other binary X-ray pulsars.
