Strap for Militare Chrono Stainless Steel / Bronze / Leather

The lug width of the Anonimo Militare AM-1120.01.002.A02 is exactly 20mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two spring bar pins (lugs) to which the strap attaches. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as even a 0.5mm discrepancy will cause compatibility issues. All our 20mm straps have been precisely calibrated to the specifications of this model.

For the Militare AM-1120.01.002.A02, we recommend four options depending on intended use: (1) genuine alligator for formal elegance without compromise; (2) vegetable-tanned calf leather for a balance between practicality and natural patina development; (3) technical NATO for maximum versatility and daily-wear practicality; (4) rubber for moisture resistance and outdoor durability. Your choice depends on primary use environment and personal aesthetic preferences. We recommend owning at least two variants to modulate the character of the watch.

Changing the strap on an Anonimo Militare requires a spring bar tool. Position the tool in the small slot on one of the lug pins, apply gentle downward pressure to compress the internal spring, and extract the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side. To install the new strap, align the holes with both lugs, use the spring bar tool to compress the spring on one pin, and allow the opposite pin to click into position. Always verify that the strap is securely fastened on both sides before wearing the watch.

Yes, provided the strap is precisely 20mm in lug width. High-quality aftermarket straps (in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, NATO, or rubber) are fully compatible with the Militare. We recommend selecting brands that guarantee strict manufacturing tolerances: a poorly constructed strap may create excessive play or fail to mount entirely. Our collection of 20mm straps has been specifically verified for compatibility with this model.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) can last 3 to 5 years with average daily use, provided it is properly maintained: avoid prolonged exposure to salt water or chlorine, and clean it periodically with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Quality rubber straps typically last slightly shorter (2-4 years) as the material gradually loses elasticity. Technical NATO straps in woven fabric offer the longest lifespan (5-7 years) due to textile durability. We recommend rotating between several straps to extend the life of each and to vary the aesthetic character of the watch.
