FS: Staybrite buckle finishing touch for your IWC Longines Omega



These 1940s/50s watchband buckles in Staybrite Steel are really difficult to find anymore. Swiss Made vintage watch item that will be the perfect finishing touch for your vintage stainless steel or white gold vintage watch. Great early vintage watch styling to this buckle, with nice angles. Has the most common 16mm wide inner opening where it attaches to the strap. Will fit on unpadded vintage straps. Stamped Staybrite Swiss BTE-PAT on back. Very elegant. Match one of these up to your rare Omega T17 tank watch in a Staybrite case a vintage Longines or Ulyssee Nardin Staybrite case or a large Omega caliber 20F rectangular watch model. Great for early chronographs or dive watches.

Difficult item to find in New Old Stock. This is an NOS watch vintage watchband buckle from around the 1940s/50s with a buckle opening size of 16mm, the most common watchband buckles size, so it will fit many vintage or newly made straps. Often these are leather straps with 16mm 18mm 19mm 20mm or 22mm lug end sizes.


Top to bottom clearance through the buckle is just 6.5mm so this will work with flat or unpadded style straps, not padded thicker bands. Plenty of vintage NOS watchbands listed at Squinky.com will take this buckle including many rally bands and exotic skin bands I have listed. We are down to our last few of these NOS buckles that will be sold out soon.
