Strap for Anomaly-02 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width is 24 millimetres. This width, determined by the case geometry, is the standard for sports watches of 42 millimetres in diameter. All compatible straps must feature an internal width between the spring bars of exactly 24 millimetres.

The choice depends on use: for formal elegance, an alligator strap in black or midnight blue amplifies the contrast with the anthracite dial; for daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops natural patina over time; for sports and water activities, FKM rubber or cotton NATO straps guarantee durability and functionality. On Milano Straps you will find all 24mm compatible options.

The strap is attached to the lugs via spring bars that are gently extracted with the dedicated tool (spring bar removal tool). Position the tool under the pin, apply gentle upward pressure to compress the internal spring, and the pin will slide freely. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, seat the pins in the lug slots and slide the strap horizontally until the pins click firmly in place.

Yes, provided the lug width is 24 millimetres. All straps in the 24mm collection of Milano Straps—in alligator, vegetable calf, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber—have been tested on cases of this size. Always verify lug width before purchase by consulting our technical glossary.

Durability depends on tanning quality, frequency of use, and environmental exposure. An artisanal-quality alligator or calf strap with vegetable tanning can withstand 5-7 years of daily use before requiring replacement. Exposure to moisture, sweat, and UV rays accelerates ageing. Well-treated leather develops a beautiful patina; neglected leather dries out and cracks. Milano Straps recommends periodic maintenance with specific natural-based balms.
