Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P?

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the two inner surfaces of the case lugs using a millimetre calliper or ruler. Any strap with a 20mm attachment width is compatible with this reference.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P?

For the Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P with its white dial and stainless steel case, the most coherent choices are: vegetable-tanned alligator for formal or business occasions (develops a rich patina over time), fine-grain calf leather for everyday wear, vulcanised rubber for technical or sporting environments, and a nylon NATO strap for a lightweight, instrument-inspired look. The final choice depends on the wearer's lifestyle and wardrobe palette.

How do you change the strap on the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P?

The strap on the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P is secured by spring bars. Using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, insert the point into the spring bar slot between the lug and the strap end. Compress the spring bar to release it, then repeat on the opposite side. If unfamiliar with watchmaking tools, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or contact the Casati Milano atelier.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P?

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and nylon straps sized precisely for this lug width, with finishes and materials that match or exceed the original in terms of personalisation and craftsmanship.

How long does a leather strap last on the Breitling Galactic A49350LA.C806.718P?

Strap longevity depends on the material, frequency of use and level of care. A quality calf leather strap worn regularly and kept away from moisture typically lasts 12 to 24 months. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, owing to the dense fibre structure of the hide, can exceed 36 months while developing a distinctive patina. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all its straps.
