Strap for Galactic Chronograph II

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic A1336410E519737P is 20mm. This measurement is taken using a millimetre calliper positioned between the inner edges of the two lugs. Any 20mm strap is compatible with this reference.

For the 44mm steel-cased Galactic, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator for formal occasions, box calf leather for everyday business use, and vulcanised rubber for sport or marine environments. The choice depends on the dial colour: dark dials pair well with cognac brown or midnight blue leather.

To replace the strap, a spring bar tool is required. Insert it into the lug slots to compress the spring bars and release the original bracelet or strap. The Galactic's lugs have a slightly curved profile at the base; ensure the replacement strap has a compatible end shape to achieve a flush fit without gaps.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Breitling Galactic A1336410E519737P. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in various leathers and technical materials, all supplied with spring bars. A fully bespoke service is also available through Casati Milano atelier by appointment.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap typically lasts between three and five years with regular wear. Shell cordovan is among the most durable options due to its dense fibre structure. Exposure to water and perspiration is the primary cause of deterioration; the strap should be removed before any aquatic activity.
