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.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.L517.368D?
Given the two-tone steel and yellow gold combination of the Galactic, a glossy alligator strap in cognac or bordeaux tones enhances the warm reflections of the gold. Vegetable-tanned calf leather in tobacco develops a distinctive patina over time. For sport or summer use, rubber in warm neutral tones is the most practical option. A yellow gold pin buckle or an IP gold deployant clasp completes the pairing coherently.
How do you change the strap on the Breitling Galactic B71340L2.L517.368D?
The strap is removed using a spring bar tool. Insert the tip into the dedicated slot on the lug, compress the spring bar and slide the strap out laterally. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the case surfaces. If in doubt, it is advisable to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Galactic?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care and frequency of use. A quality alligator strap, with regular conditioning (nourishing cream every 2–3 months, avoiding prolonged water contact), lasts an average of 3–5 years. Vegetable-tanned calf leather has a similar lifespan and develops an appealing patina. Shell cordovan, being denser and more compact, can exceed 5 years. All Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
