Longines UNROC Buckle: Real or Fake? Off-Center Stamp

Hi, I have these cople of "UNROC" buckles that have their stamps badly aligned. I was wondering if they are still original ones?

They had old dirt on them which I cleaned off and also some scrathes. But of course they could be old reproductions that have been in use.

Have you guys encountered these kind of off-center stamps? And what are your thoughts about them?

It seems to be correct. It was probably a product from the 1960s or later. However, this buckle was produced in large quantities.

Thanks for your input. And yeah, that's what I was thinking too, probably from the later part of this model's production.

Looks good to me. Zenith and Certina used the same designs with different logos (obviously)
