Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Breitling Galactic the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

How do I change the strap on a Breitling Galactic A71340L2.L516.166Z?

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars that secure the strap ends to the case lugs using a bifurcated spring bar tool. It is advisable to entrust this operation to a watchmaker or specialist atelier to avoid scratching the polished steel case.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Galactic?

A quality leather strap on a Breitling Galactic typically lasts between 18 and 36 months under daily use, depending on leather grade, exposure to perspiration and moisture, and regular conditioning. Using a deployant clasp significantly reduces wear on the leather, extending the strap's useful life.
