Zenith does some really well-detailed work on such a humble detail like the buckle:

Great topic, Magnus! :)
I love to find the correct buckle for my watches!
Here is another example of a Zenith buckle.

Hi Bill
Original A386? I.e. 1969?
I was suspecting this to be end 1960's / early 1970's design.
Seen the same type for both JLC and IWC + a few others.

You guys are showing something great indeed.
ZENITH has done a good job in matching different buckle shapes and designs with different watches. A very thoughtful act.
The last bracelet depicted . . .

An absolutely gorgeous watch in conjunction with a matching bracelet from a third party.

All the brands should think ( and work ) on that kind of detail.
Which is not a detail, for me. A watch is not " head only " but also a strap AND a buckle. Well done!
Best,
Nicolas
