The Heritage

The Breitling Galactic B49350L2A704366D is a pure time-only watch featuring a 41mm stainless steel case with rose gold inserts and a pink mother-of-pearl dial. Powered by the in-house Caliber 49 movement, it displays hours, minutes, seconds, and Big Date. The lug width is 20mm, with lugs requiring shaped strap ends that follow the case's curved profile. The two-tone steel/rose gold construction demands coordinated strap materials such as vegetable-tanned alligator leather.
