Strap for Galactic Chronograph II

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic A1336410C805731P is 18mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs at the point where the springbar sits, and it determines compatibility with all aftermarket straps.

The Galactic A1336410C805731P pairs well with alligator leather in black or navy for formal occasions, vegetable-tanned calfskin for everyday wear, and vulcanised rubber for sport or marine use. With a blue dial, a tan shell cordovan strap is a refined and sought-after combination.

Strap removal requires a springbar tool to compress the spring-loaded pins seated within the lugs. The operation takes approximately two minutes and is entirely reversible with no risk to the case. A forked-tip tool is recommended to avoid scratching the satin-finished surfaces of the Galactic.

Yes. Any strap with a standard 18mm fitment and springbar attachment is compatible with the Breitling Galactic A1336410C805731P. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection of 18mm straps in various materials — leather, NATO, and rubber — designed to sit correctly within the lug geometry of this model.

Longevity depends on material and usage. A well-maintained vegetable-tanned calfskin strap typically lasts 2–4 years with daily wear, developing a characteristic patina over time. Alligator leather, being denser and less hygroscopic, can exceed 5 years. Frequent exposure to water and perspiration significantly shortens the lifespan of any leather — in such cases, rubber or nylon NATO straps are the more practical choice.
