Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Breitling Galactic C49350L2.G701.150S?
The Breitling Galactic C49350L2.G701.150S has a lug width of 20 mm. This measurement is taken with a calliper between the two lugs, flush against the case body. It is one of the most common strap widths in Breitling's production, ensuring wide availability of quality aftermarket straps.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Galactic C49350L2.G701.150S?
Given the bi-metal case in rose gold and stainless steel, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator in cognac or tobacco — which enhances the warm tones of the rose gold — or fine-grain calf leather for a more understated look. Shell cordovan is a characterful alternative for those seeking a polished, distinctive surface. A deployant clasp in steel or rose gold completes the bi-metal theme of the case.
How do you change the strap on the Breitling Galactic C49350L2.G701.150S?
To replace the strap, you will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the gap between the strap and the lug, compress the spring bar and slide the strap free. Exercise caution to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs. If in doubt, the operation is best entrusted to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Galactic C49350L2.G701.150S?
Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible with the Breitling Galactic C49350L2.G701.150S. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber, made with selected materials and artisanal finishing consistent with the standard of this reference.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Galactic?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, the thickness of the hide and conditions of use. A high-grade vegetable-tanned alligator strap, used with care and rotated regularly, will maintain its structural and aesthetic integrity for 3 to 5 years. The 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects offered by Casati Milano covers any anomalies related to the artisanal production process.
