An original vintage King Seiko (KS) buckle, a correct period accessory for Seiko's premium King Seiko line of the 1960s and 1970s. The buckle carries the applied openwork "KS" logo on a finely striated, vertically brushed face plate, framed by polished, gently curved outer edges. This combination of a lined texture and a raised, cut-out logo is a hallmark of the era's King Seiko fittings and gives the buckle a crisp, dressy presence that suits a slim leather strap.
The buckle is solid stainless steel throughout, with a polished tang (pin) and roller bar. The reverse is clearly stamped "SEIKO / STAINLESS STEEL / T", confirming its origin as a genuine Seiko component. It is a standard pin-style (ardillon) buckle, ready to be fitted to a vintage or aftermarket strap of the appropriate width.
