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

What is the best strap for the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.C779.163Z?

For the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.C779.163Z in yellow gold and stainless steel bi-colour, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator with Hornback grain for formal occasions, smooth polished calf leather for a minimalist profile, and vulcanised rubber for everyday wear. A deployant clasp in yellow gold or brushed steel completes the pairing with visual coherence relative to the bi-colour case.

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

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and frequency of wear. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, properly maintained — avoiding prolonged exposure to water and humidity — can last between 3 and 5 years with regular use. Calf leather typically has a shorter lifespan (2–3 years), while shell cordovan is the most durable owing to its dense fibre structure. Milano Straps offers an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all Casati Milano straps.
