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.L517.368A?

For this bi-metal Galactic in yellow gold and stainless steel, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in tobacco or bordeaux tones offers the most coherent aesthetic pairing: it complements the warmth of the gold without overpowering the dial. Fine-grain high-quality calf leather is the most versatile option for everyday wear. A deployant clasp is recommended to preserve the leather strap and ensure stability on the wrist.

How do you change the strap on the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.L517.368A?

Strap replacement requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the spring bar slot between the lug and the strap, compress the spring pin, and slide the strap free. Exercise care to avoid scratching the gold surfaces. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier, where strap changes are carried out without risk to the case.

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

Longevity depends on the leather type, daily care and frequency of use. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, conditioned with a neutral cream every three months and kept away from prolonged exposure to water and perspiration, can last between five and ten years while retaining its structure. Shell cordovan is notably more resistant to deformation. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all straps produced in the atelier.
