Oh those star-spangled b.... buckles!
Zenith does some really well-detailed work on such a humble detail like the buckle:
Pilot Type 20:
Synopsis:
Similar. but not the same: Rainbow:
El Primero 36000:
An a marvellous vintage Zenith Captain most likely from the 1960s, with a more 'stylised' star (image lifted from the web):
Do you have any further examples to share?

I have just a few....

Great topic, Magnus! :)
I love to find the correct buckle for my watches! :) Here is another example of a Zenith buckle. Best Blomman ...
and That is the buckle that originally came on my A386 !
Hi Blomman That is the style of buckle that original came with my A386 .... I have found a GF ladder style bracelet for it but I Still dont have the nerve to put it on it !! Good Hunting Bill Sohne
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. Best Blomman
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 . . .
. . . was deemed as not original to Zenith item by Cécile A, historian at Zenith. An absolutely gorgeous watch in conjunction with a matching bracelet from a third party. Art
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
