Strap for Galactic 32 Two Tone Blue / Alligator

The Breitling Galactic B71356L2.C812.777P features a lug width of 20mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and is the essential parameter for selecting a compatible strap. It can be verified with a calliper or by checking the caseback, where the value is often engraved.

Given the two-tone case in stainless steel and yellow gold, the most suitable materials are alligator leather in cognac or tobacco tones, shell cordovan for a noble and long-lasting patina, and vegetable-tanned calf leather for maximum everyday versatility. For sporting contexts, a vulcanised rubber strap maintains the technical character of the timepiece. A deployant clasp in steel or yellow gold completes the pairing with formal rigour.

Replacement requires a 1.5mm fine-tip spring bar tool to remove the spring bars securing the original bracelet to the lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. If the original integrated bracelet has a complex construction, it is preferable to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for a precise and risk-free replacement.

Yes. The standard 20mm lug width ensures a wide availability of quality aftermarket straps. On milanostraps.it you can find straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber specifically selected for this measurement. It is important to choose manufacturers who respect dimensional tolerances and use certified materials to ensure durability and proper fit within the original lugs.

Longevity depends on the material, daily use and maintenance. A vegetable-tanned calf strap, properly cared for, lasts on average 2 to 4 years with regular wear. Shell cordovan, thanks to its compact fibre structure, can exceed 5 years whilst developing a distinguished patina. Alligator leather, when treated with appropriate products and not excessively exposed to moisture, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for comparable periods. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
