Hello,
Could someone please tell me which is the correct buckle for the Apollo Soyouz (20mm) please? The one on top or the one below? Thank you very much!

Is the difference on the other side of the clasp? Square logo versus overlapping logo?

Means the lower one is right

No, actually both clasps have an overlapping logo. The difference is the back of the buckle.
- One fits the Apollo Soyouz and fits with a bracelet with 20mm-outer-links.
- The one fits the Admirality and fits with a bracelet with 18mm-outer-links.
So my question is which pic corresponds to the Soyouz, and which pic corresponds to the Admiralty?

According to my research - the bottom one 😀

Searching OF I found a similar question and responce from Kringkily (long standing forum member/collector and seller) 👍
https://omegaforums.net/threads/question-about-the-rare-omega-bracelet-1168.6539/

So I would be inclinded to believe his two pictures are of the correct clasp - no hole on inside

Also there is a SOLD chrono24 listing for the bracelet claiming it is the original and gives a picture showing what is correct and what is not a soyuz clasp. This agrees with the pictures from Kringkily

@Stuie @Tubber Thank you very much comrades! In the meantime I had also a 3rd person (one of the 2 Moonwatch Only writers) confirming this.
