Description: These rare watch buckles have been bought by 250+ watch collectors through the various Squinky auctions, 43 through this auction alone. Watch aficionados recognize these 16mm inner opening buckles are the most sought after steel watch band buckle for authentic original Swiss Tropic vintage dive watch band styles. This is a 1960s New Old Stock original 16mm inner opening stainless steel buckle. Signed with ACIER on back. Has the distinct profile and sharp notch to hold the tang. Great opportunity to install this correct original buckle on your Tropic band that has the incorrect buckle or use this buckle to upgrade a generic band to look like an expensive Genuine Swiss Tropic strap on your watch. The top to bottom clearance of this buckle is 6.4mm so it will work with any Tropic band or unpadded or lightly padded leather bands. This is one of four styles that original vintage Tropic dive straps originally came with in the 1960s/70s; check our Tropic Rubber Straps section for the other three styles, plus the ladies size buckles. This buckle's opening size (where it attaches to the strap's buckle end) is the most common 16mm wide inner opening, so it will fit straps that have a 16mm wide buckle end. Often these are rubber or leather straps with 18mm 19mm 20mm or 22mm lug end sizes, and almost all Tropic dive bands take these 16mm buckles. See our special offer to buy 10 of these at once! This Tropic Swiss buckle would look great on a 1000M watch or 666 ft dive watch style. It is a great match for rally or racing watch straps with holes as on many chronograph watch brands originally. Great also for a diver watch model. Buy with confidence from a seller with more than 18,000 positive feedbacks on EBAY since 1998 and a member of the NAWCC watch collector's association since 1997.
