Strap for Anomaly-02 Black PVD / Black

The lug width of the Anomaly-02 is 24mm, measured centre-to-centre between the spring bar holes. This dimension is consistent with the 42mm case diameter and ensures balanced proportions on the wrist. To verify, position a calliper on the outer side of the spring bar and measure the distance between the two holes.

The best strap depends on usage and aesthetic preference. For daily elegance, we recommend satin-finished alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in medium brown or burgundy. For sport and summer wear, FKM rubber offers superior technical comfort. A silk-cotton NATO keeps the case in focus without chromatic competition. All 24mm options are available on Milano Straps.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars on either side of the case. Use a flat-tipped tool (such as a strap change tool) to carefully lift the spring bar toward the outer edge, grasp the strap, and pull towards you. Repeat on the other side. To fit the new 24mm strap, insert the lug into the attachment, then guide the spring bar into its housing using the tool tip. Verify that the spring bar is fully seated.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of straps in natural leather, NATO, and technical rubber, selected for build quality and aesthetics. Always verify that the lug width is exactly 24mm and that the strap is wide enough to fit without excessive tension, which could damage the spring bar.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage and care. A quality alligator or calf strap, if subjected to moderate-to-heavy use, lasts between 2 and 4 years before replacement is needed. Constant exposure to sweat, water, and sunlight accelerates wear. Rotating between multiple straps extends the life of each one. Vegetable-tanned leather straps develop a pleasant patina over time of use and age with character.
