Strap for Anomaly-02 Forged Carbon / Black

The Anomaly-02 features a 24-millimetre lug width, a non-standard dimension compared to conventional 20, 22, or 26mm specifications. This measurement must be verified with callipers positioned perpendicularly on the inner surface of the lugs, between the two lateral pins. Precise compatibility with your chosen strap is essential.

There is no singular optimal choice. Superior alligator leather emphasises contrast between exotic hide and forged carbon; vegetable-tanned calf develops patina over time; a NATO strap prioritises modularity and outdoor context; FKM rubber accentuates industrial minimalism coherent with brand philosophy. Selection depends on intended use and desired chromatic palette.

The lateral pins are extracted using a dedicated strap removal tool available from Milano Straps. Position the tool beneath the pin and apply gentle lateral pressure until you feel the release click. The pin withdraws from the lug without requiring invasive instruments. Reverse the procedure to install your new strap.

No. A 22mm strap will leave excessive play between the pin and the strap aperture, reducing stability and risking slippage during movement. A 26mm strap forces the lug beyond elastic limits, damaging both strap and titanium pins. You must use 24mm to ensure correct fit and durability.

Vegetable-tanned calf resists 3-5 years under daily use conditions, developing aesthetic patina over time. Alligator, being denser, may exceed 7-8 years. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, frequency of water exposure, and periodic care (gentle cleaning, conditioning with natural wax). FKM rubber is indefinitely durable but may yellow after 10-15 years of UV exposure.
