Strap for Galactic 32 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Diamond / Sierra Silver / Sahara

The Breitling Galactic C71356LA.G704.208X has a lug width of 16mm. This is a specific feminine dimension reflecting the proportions of the 32mm case. Before purchasing a replacement strap, it is advisable to verify the measurement with a digital calliper placed at the narrowest point between the lugs.

For the two-tone stainless steel and rose gold case of the Galactic, the most appropriate materials are vegetable-tanned alligator in cognac or burgundy, and smooth polished calf leather. Shell cordovan develops a warm patina over time that pairs particularly well with rose gold. The strap must be cut to 16mm with a slim profile suited to the feminine case proportions.

Strap replacement requires a fine-tipped springbar tool to remove the spring bars from the lug holes. Extra care is needed on two-tone cases to avoid scratching the rose gold components: it is recommended to protect the case surface with masking tape beforehand, or to have the operation carried out by a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Longevity depends on the material, frequency of wear, and exposure to moisture and perspiration. A quality alligator strap, properly maintained and stored, typically lasts between 2 and 4 years. Shell cordovan tends to last longer due to the density of its fibres. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
