Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X?

The Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X has a lug width of 16mm. This measurement should be taken with a millimetre calliper between the two lugs at the point where the strap attaches to the case. Precision is essential to ensure a correct fit and balanced proportions.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X?

For the 32mm Galactic, a vegetable-tanned smooth calfskin strap or a fine-scale Louisiana alligator strap represent the most coherent choices, in keeping with the model's elegant-sports character. The slim profile and natural flexibility of quality leather complement the compact proportions of the stainless steel case.

How do I change the strap on a Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X?

The strap is replaced using a springbar tool inserted between the strap and the lug to compress the spring bars and release the strap. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the case. If in doubt, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can carry out the replacement safely.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X?

Yes. Any strap with a 16mm attachment and standard spring bars is compatible with the Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted 16mm straps in various materials and finishes, available online or made to measure through the Casati Milano atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Galactic A71356LA.A787.116X?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, daily use, and maintenance. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn regularly and kept away from excessive moisture, can last between two and five years while developing a distinctive patina. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
