Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X?

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X is 16mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper between the two lugs at the strap attachment point. It is essential to respect this exact dimension: a 17mm strap will not fit correctly, while a 15mm strap will appear loose and visually disproportionate.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X?

For the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X with its 32mm polished stainless steel case, the most suitable straps are vegetable-tanned alligator for formal settings, smooth box calf leather for versatile everyday wear, or thin vulcanised rubber for sporting use. The 16mm lug width is specific and requires straps built to this precise measurement, such as those available in the Milano Straps collection.

How do you change the strap on the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X?

To replace the strap on the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X, a fine-tipped springbar tool is required. By pressing the spring mechanism inward towards the lug, the strap releases without force. It is advisable to carry out this operation on a soft surface to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. If in doubt, the operation can be performed at the Casati Milano atelier or by a qualified watchmaker.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X?

Yes, there are numerous aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X, provided they respect the 16mm lug width and are fitted with standard springbars. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and fabric straps, made to measure to fit the specific lug geometry of Breitling watches, with a buckle or deployant clasp in 14-16mm stainless steel.

How long does a leather strap last on the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X?

The lifespan of a leather strap for the Breitling Galactic A71356L2.Q579.208X depends on the quality of the tanning process and daily use. A good quality calf leather strap typically lasts 18 to 24 months with regular wear. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning or a shell cordovan strap, owing to the greater density of the fibres, can exceed 3 to 5 years with proper care. Milano Straps guarantees all its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
