Totally legit.

1970s

I really like these double buckles (or whatever they're called) I could do with one in a 16mm at the moment..
any other omega double buckles worth looking at?

Regarding vintage strap and buckle pairings, seems to me that when Omega signed the backs of straps meant for gold watches they used gold print. And they used silver print for straps that came on steel watches.

I have what appears to be a genuine Omega buckle by Banda, with a curvacious, sculpted form, and having the Omega symbol filled with black paint and off to the side. It's 14mm. Perhaps 70's or 80's? It hasn't been shown here before, though the OP describes a similar one with a centered Omega symbol not filled with paint described only as "later B".

It was shown for sale with this watch/strap combo a few years ago.

I think it鈥檚 a legit style from early 1980鈥檚. By that time most Omegas sold were quartz.

I like the second one the most.
Perfect fit for a tdmp and (from my pov/experience) very good price for a 16mm if original.

I think all original, and pretty good prices! First one on 1950's gold Connie or Seamaster, Second by maker AW on a Speedy 60's, third one later MG style on early 70's SS watch, and last on Connie 1960's maybe. Other opinions welcome on the era or each.
