Perfect finishing touch for your steel or white gold vintage watch. Nice faceted angles on this vintage watch strap buckle made of nickel steel. Very elegant. Difficult item to find New Old Stock. This is an NOS watch vintage 16mm opening watchband buckle from around the 1950s/60s.
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 9.5mm so this will work with lightly padded or unpadded style straps, not newly made heavily padded thick bands.
Plenty of vintage NOS watchbands listed in the EBAY store Squinky will take this buckle including 500+ Exotic Skin bands we have listed. Buy with confidence from a seller with 20,000 positive feedbacks on EBAY since 1998 and a member of the NAWCC watch collector's association since 1997.
