Strap for Galactic 36 Automatic Stainless Steel / Stratus Silver / Calf

The lug width of the Breitling Galactic A3733012/G706/414X/A16BA.1 is 18mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper placed between the two lugs at the strap attachment point. It is essential to use a native 18mm strap to preserve the original proportions of the case design.

For the Breitling Galactic A3733012/G706/414X/A16BA.1, with its stainless steel case and white dial, the most suitable straps are in vegetable-tanned calf leather, alligator belly or shell cordovan. These leathers complement the dress-sport character of the watch and develop a distinctive patina over time, enhancing the 36mm case proportions.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Galactic A3733012/G706/414X/A16BA.1, you will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool.

It is advisable to work on a soft surface and, if in doubt, to entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker or authorised retailer.
