Strap for Galactic 32 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Trophy Black / Sahara

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic C71356L2.BA12.208X is 16mm. This measurement is taken internally between the case lugs and is the essential parameter for identifying compatible replacement straps.

For the Galactic 32mm in steel and rose gold, the most suitable materials are polished alligator in bordeaux or cognac — which complement the warm tone of the rose gold — and vegetable-tanned calfskin for more dynamic daily wear. The 16mm lug width allows proportionally elegant pairings without overwhelming the 32mm case.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Galactic C71356L2.BA12.208X, you will need a spring bar tool. Insert the tip into the lug notch, compress the spring bar and release the strap. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the two-tone case. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier.
