I should add that these failures came after substantial use... probably in the range of 300-600 dives on each mask. However, the failures were all limited to the buckle. I'll have to find a "local" Cressi dealer on the mainland since neither shop here carries them.
 
We (4 buddies and I ) all use Cressi Horizon which is very similar to the Big Eyes and we have had 2 buckle failures (one was caused by sitting a tank down on it which shouldn't count). I ordered replacement buckle parts from LDS (Cressi would not sell to me)and keep them with me just in case.
 
I personally own this mask as well and found that replacing the strap to be helpful. I took off the original strap and replaced it with a slap strap, which I found to be an easier fit.
I have had about 50 dives w/out an issue.
I will inquire w/my LDS on the warranty, curious myself since you brought up this issue.
 
What manufacturer strap did you change to? Might need to be ready to swap them out.....
