Strap for Galactic Chronograph II Stainless Steel / MOP

The Breitling Galactic A1336410/A569/379A has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement refers to the free space between the case lugs where the strap is fitted. It is a standard width, ensuring a wide availability of compatible straps, both genuine Breitling and high-quality aftermarket options.

For the 44mm Galactic in stainless steel, the most suitable straps are smooth alligator for a formal register, vegetable-tanned calfskin for an authentic, lived-in look, or vulcanised rubber for sporting use. A technical nylon NATO strap references the brand's aeronautical heritage. The choice depends on the context of wear and the desired chromatic pairing with the dial.

To replace the strap, a bifurcated springbar tool is required. Insert the tool between the lug and the strap, compress the springbar and slide it outward. The operation takes approximately two minutes per side. It is advisable to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to avoid scratching the stainless steel lugs.
