How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Galactic C49350L2.A706.431X?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use and level of care. A top-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, worn on rotation and properly maintained (leather conditioner every 3–4 months, protection from moisture), can last between 3 and 6 years while retaining its structural and aesthetic integrity. Vegetable-tanned leather straps develop a patina that improves with time. The Casati Milano guarantee covers manufacturing defects for 18 months.
