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.C779.368D?

For this two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold Galactic, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in cognac or bordeaux is the most coherent choice: the scale grain complements the golden bezel and the natural patina develops harmoniously over time. Alternatively, smooth polished calf leather offers a more contemporary aesthetic.

How do I change the strap on the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.C779.368D?

Replacing the strap on this model requires removing the original bracelet via the connecting spring bar. Use a fine-blade screwdriver or a professional spring bar tool, levering carefully to avoid scratching the gold-tone lugs. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

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

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on tanning quality and daily use. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, properly cared for and kept away from prolonged exposure to water and perspiration, can last between three and seven years while developing a distinguished patina. Shell cordovan straps tend to offer even greater longevity due to the density of the cordovan fibres.
