Strap for Galactic 32 Two Tone Bronze / Calf

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic B71356L2.Q580.406X is 20 mm. This measurement is taken between the case lugs at their narrowest point, where the spring bar is fitted. It is a standard size that ensures a wide availability of compatible aftermarket straps.

For the two-tone yellow gold and stainless steel Galactic, a polished alligator strap in tobacco, dark brown or burgundy tones provides the most coherent match with the precious profile of the case. Shell cordovan is an equally distinguished alternative. In both instances, a deployant clasp in polished steel or gold PVD completes the pairing with formal precision.

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars that secure the bracelet or strap to the case lugs. A dedicated spring bar tool with a fine tip is required. Given the precious two-tone finish of the case, it is advisable to protect the lugs with a soft cloth during the operation, or to entrust the procedure to a watchmaker to avoid scratching the polished surfaces.

Yes. The standard 20 mm lug width of the Galactic B71356L2.Q580.406X is compatible with a broad range of quality aftermarket straps. Milano Straps offers handcrafted options in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf leather, shell cordovan and NATO, all available in the 20 mm size with refined finishing.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide and the level of care applied. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, kept away from excessive moisture and perspiration and treated periodically with appropriate conditioners, can last between three and seven years while retaining an excellent appearance. Vegetable-tanned calf straps develop a distinctive patina over time that enhances their aesthetic character.
