Strap for Galactic 29 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Trophy Black Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic C7234812/BE86/791C is 14mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper positioned internally between the two lugs, in direct contact with the case, to ensure a precise fit with any replacement strap.

For the two-tone steel and rose gold case of the Galactic 29mm, a bombé alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather in bordeaux, plum or tobacco brown tones complements the warmth of the rose gold. Alternatively, smooth calf leather or shell cordovan offer a more contemporary aesthetic, while vulcanised rubber is ideal for everyday sporting use.

To replace the strap, the 14mm spring bars connecting the strap to the case lugs must be removed. Use a forked-tip springbar tool inserted into the lug hole or between the strap and case. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the steel or rose gold surfaces. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use, and care. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, worn in rotation and kept away from moisture, can last between 3 and 7 years while developing a distinguished patina. Calf leather typically lasts 2 to 4 years. Shell cordovan, due to the density of its fibres, is among the most durable options. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
