Strap for Galactic 32 Sleek Edition Stainless Steel / Diamond / Trophy Black Diamond / Calf

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic A7133053/BF63/406X/A14BA.1 is 16mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper between the inner faces of the lugs, at the narrowest point, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strap.

For the Galactic 32mm, a belly-cut alligator leather in a matte finish or a vegetable-tanned calf leather are the most coherent choices given the model's sport-chic character. Vulcanised rubber suits sporting or summer use, whilst shell cordovan develops a distinctive patina over time, making it ideal for daily wear.

The strap is replaced using a fine-tipped springbar tool. Apply gentle pressure to release the spring bars connecting the strap to the case lugs, taking care not to scratch the stainless steel lug surface. Given the 16mm lug width, a slender tool is recommended for precise operation without forcing the spring bars.

Yes. Milano Straps offers a selection of aftermarket straps made to measure for 16mm lugs, respecting Breitling's original tolerances for taper and length. Alligator, calf, shell cordovan and rubber models are available both online and as bespoke commissions at the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap — alligator, vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan — typically lasts between 18 and 36 months with daily wear, depending on exposure to perspiration, water and UV light. Using a deployant clasp reduces stress on the buckle and significantly extends the leather's service life. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
