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 you change the strap on a Breitling Galactic?

The strap on the Breitling Galactic is removed using a springbar tool: a fork-tipped instrument that compresses the springs at each end of the attachment bar. Insert the tool into the small recess on the side of the lug, compress the spring and slide the bar out. Care must be taken not to scratch the yellow gold surfaces. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or visit the Casati Milano atelier.

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

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, frequency of wear, and maintenance. A high-quality handcrafted alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, with regular but not intensive use, typically lasts between 2 and 4 years. Frequent exposure to perspiration, water, and perfume accelerates deterioration. Storing the strap away from direct sunlight and rotating between multiple straps will significantly extend its service life. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee covering manufacturing defects.
