Strap for Anomaly-02 Black PVD / Black

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-BK-ST-ALIG-BK is 24mm, a non-standard dimension that reflects the specific proportions of this model. This measurement determines compatibility with dedicated straps and cannot be substituted with approximate sizes such as 22mm or 26mm without compromising proper fit to the case.

The optimal strap depends on intended use and desired aesthetics. For formal settings, we recommend alligator in black or dark brown, creating visual harmony with the case's minimalism. For a strap that develops patina organically, vegetable-tanned calf offers authentic character evolution. For a discreet sports aesthetic, a NATO in linen or cordura maintains elegance without excess, whilst a fine-grained FKM rubber preserves the minimalist profile even in active contexts.

To change the strap, use a dedicated spring bar tool to gently compress the elastic pins. Position the tool in the lower slot of each pin, apply controlled pressure until the internal spring releases, extract the pin from the case, and remove the old strap. Reverse the process with the new strap, ensuring the pins are fully inserted into the case slots. Verify that the strap is properly centered and not misaligned relative to the case.

Yes, all straps with a 24mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection of alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber specifically dimensioned for this measurement. Each strap is custom-made to guarantee precise fit to the case lugs, without play or misalignment.

A quality leather strap, featuring vegetable tanning or alligator, has an average lifespan of 3–5 years under moderate daily use conditions. Longevity depends on factors such as ambient humidity, perspiration exposure, cleaning frequency, and storage practices. Leather exposed consistently to water or highly humid climates may deteriorate more rapidly. Periodic rotation with alternative straps extends overall lifespan by reducing cumulative stress on any single strap.
