Strap for Anomaly-02 Black PVD / Black

The Anomaly-02 AN02-BK-ST-LEA-PER-COU-SP is equipped with a 24mm lug width, an unconventional measurement for its 42mm case diameter. This deliberately engineered choice by CODE41 emphasises case elegance and visually lightens wrist presence, creating a distinctive aesthetic balance. Measurement is performed by assessing the internal width between attachment pins, excluding any external seals or bezels.

To honour the philosophy of transparency and constructive purity underlying the CODE41 Anomaly-02, full-grain leather with vegetable tanning (which develops natural patina over time) or Italian calf with brushed finishing are recommended. Alligator brings geometric drama through characteristic shields. A strap with brushed stainless steel deployante buckle amplifies aesthetic coherence with the case. For maintenance-conscious wearers, technical NATO fabric or vulcanised rubber preserve the raw aesthetic that defines the design.

Strap replacement on the AN02-BK-ST-LEA-PER-COU-SP uses spring bar attachment. Employ a dedicated spring bar tool to avoid case damage: position the tool tip in the small hole beneath the pin, gently lift the spring, and extract the lug. Verify that the replacement strap is dimensioned correctly (24mm), then insert it with the spring aligned to the pins, ensuring secure seating on both sides.

Yes, Milano Straps offers a dedicated 24mm strap collection compatible with the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-BK-ST-LEA-PER-COU-SP. Available in leather, NATO, and rubber, ready for dispatch and customisable online. Since 24mm is a non-standard lug width, Milano Straps provides a practical solution compared to bespoke artisanal commissions, ensuring sartorial quality with rapid delivery timeframes.

A full-grain leather strap with vegetable tanning, worn daily with ordinary care, maintains structural integrity for 4–6 years. Longevity depends upon sunlight exposure, humidity, cleaning frequency, and how the leather develops patina. Shell cordovan straps, being denser, typically endure 6–8 years. Maintenance includes periodic cleaning with a damp cloth and potential conditioning using leather-specific oils. For the Anomaly-02, the artisanal quality of Milano Straps extends useful life significantly beyond industrial standard straps.
