Strap for Galactic 41 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Metallica Blue / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic C49350L2.C810.138S is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the two inner spring bar lugs on the case and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. It is also advisable to check whether curved ends are required to ensure a seamless transition between the case and the strap.

Given the two-tone rose gold and steel case of the Galactic, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator leather — preferably smooth Louisiana belly in midnight blue or bordeaux — and shell cordovan for its natural, unvarnished lustre. A deployant clasp in steel or rose gold completes the pairing with constructive rigour consistent with the COSC-certified movement.

Strap replacement is carried out by removing the spring bars connecting the strap to the case lugs using a bifurcated spring bar tool. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to protect the rose gold and steel case back and lugs. If in doubt, it is preferable to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier for safe and professional fitting.

Yes, the Breitling Galactic accepts any 20mm strap with curved ends suited to the case geometry. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber, with full chromatic customisation and clasp selection available at the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, tanning method and daily use. A high-grade alligator or shell cordovan strap, maintained with appropriate conditioners and kept away from prolonged water exposure, can last between three and seven years while retaining full structural integrity. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all atelier-made straps.
