Strap for Galactic 30 Two Tone MOP / Roman / Teju

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.A688.163Z is 20 mm. This measurement refers to the gap between the case lugs at the strap attachment point and determines compatibility with any standard 20 mm aftermarket strap.

For the Galactic with a mother-of-pearl dial and yellow gold details, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in bordeaux, midnight blue or cognac provides the best balance between elegance and durability. Box calf leather is a more understated alternative, while vulcanised rubber is recommended for intensive daily or sports use.

Strap replacement is carried out by removing the spring bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. It is advisable to use a fine-tipped spring bar tool to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. Alternatively, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can complete the operation in a matter of minutes using professional tools.

Yes. Any strap with a standard 20 mm attachment is compatible with the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.A688.163Z. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps in leather, rubber and nylon with a 20 mm lug width, designed to complement the yellow gold and steel details of this model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and care: a quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, kept away from water and perspiration and occasionally treated with a conditioning cream, can last between 3 and 7 years. Calf leather typically lasts 2 to 4 years. The Casati Milano warranty covers manufacturing defects for 18 months.
