Hello! The overall construction of the buckle seems correct to me but the fact that I can't see any engravings bothers me. Have a look at this very good thread:

Even if it is real, why would you want to pay ~$200 for a 50-year old piece of leather that may not be in that good of condition? Unless conditioned regularly, leather become brittle and will tear. For that price you can get a nice bespoke strap of 3-4 from a good manufacturer (e.g., Hirsch).
Because (if real) it would finish off a nice 1969 Omega DeVille that I have.
Is it for the glass cabinet or do you intend to wear it?
I’d be afraid of the risk of damaging the watch. Might have been unlucky myself but I’ve had a NOS strap on a 60s Connie for a while, which let go where the tunnel for one of the spring bars is while I was wearing it. Luckily, I was standing on gras - had it been a concrete floor the watch would’ve been damaged severely. Your choice of course and no judgement intended, just warning you that there’s a risk involved.
