Strap for Anomaly-02 Brown PVD / Brown

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-BR-ST-BR is 24mm. This dimension represents the horizontal space between the two lateral lugs of the case where the strap is inserted. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

The CODE41 Anomaly-02 pairs beautifully with straps in alligator with vegetable tanning, high-quality calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO fabric, or vulcanised rubber. The choice depends on the intended use and aesthetic philosophy: noble materials for sophisticated elegance, or rubber and NATO for a technical and contemporary approach that amplifies the watch's engineering character.

To change the strap, you must first obtain a spring bar removal tool. Locate the lateral spring bars hidden beneath the original strap, insert the tool into the space between the case and the lug to apply pressure on the spring bar, then gently extract the lug from the first side. Repeat the procedure on the other side. Subsequently, insert the new spring bars into the 24mm strap and reposition the lug in its case holes, ensuring that the spring bars are completely unlocked and securely anchored.

Yes, the CODE41 Anomaly-02 is fully compatible with any quality aftermarket strap featuring a 24mm lug width. The straps proposed by Milano Straps, crafted from noble materials (alligator, calf leather, rubber), are perfectly compatible with this model's lugs. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardisation of the 24mm dimension throughout the watchmaking industry.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on daily use, climatic conditions, and the quality of the tanning. A calf leather or alligator strap with vegetable tanning, used daily on a 42mm watch such as the Anomaly-02, has an average longevity of 3-5 years before replacement becomes necessary. Shell cordovan straps, thanks to the greater intrinsic resistance of horse leather, can last 7-10 years. Prolonged exposure to humidity, perspiration, and extreme climatic variations accelerates deterioration.
