Strap for Galactic 41 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Trophy Black / Rubber

The Breitling Galactic C49350L2.BA09.132S has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement is taken at the inner face of the lugs, between the two case horns, and is compatible with standard 20mm straps. The strap end can be straight or slightly curved — always verify the lug profile before purchasing a replacement strap.

Given the two-tone rose gold and stainless steel case, the most suitable materials are alligator leather in cognac or black — with fine porosus grain — and shell cordovan in burgundy for those who prefer a dense texture with natural patina. A deployant clasp in rose gold or PVD gold completes the pairing without interrupting the chromatic continuity of the case. For a less formal use, a vegetable-tanned calf strap is a versatile alternative.

Replacing the strap requires a fine-tipped springbar tool, inserted into the slot on the lug to compress the springbar ends. Remove one side first, then the other. Always work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. If you are not comfortable using the tool, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or visit the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment is technically compatible. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in various materials — alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO, rubber — crafted with stitching and finishing consistent with Breitling's quality standards. Straps are available with straight or curved ends and in various attachment/buckle width combinations.

Longevity depends on the material, frequency of use, and maintenance. A quality alligator strap, kept away from water and excessive perspiration and treated periodically with leather conditioner, has an average lifespan of 2–4 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, owing to its dense fibre structure, tends to last longer and develops a distinctive patina. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
