Strap for Anomaly-02 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-BK-ST-COU-VB is 24 millimetres. This measurement is taken between the inner attachment pins (centre to centre). A 24mm width accommodates robust straps proportionate to the 42mm case diameter.

To complement the exposed movement, we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning in black or medium brown, creating material contrast with the brushed steel case. Alternatively, French calf with vegetable tanning and natural patina or NATO straps in brushed Cordura maintain the model's technical vocation. Vulcanised rubber offers contemporary contrast.

To change the strap, remove the lateral attachment pins (lugs) using a watchmaker's tool or small key. Some models feature a deployant—disengage the spring-loaded mechanism. Align the new strap holes with the lugs and reposition the pins until secure. Never force: the mechanism should click precisely into place.

Yes, the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-BK-ST-COU-VB is fully compatible with artisanal 24mm straps. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of leather accessories (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), technical fabrics (NATO, Cordura) and rubber, all tested for this lug width.

Durability depends on leather quality and daily wear. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts 3–5 years with regular use, developing natural patina over time. Regenerated leather straps last 2–3 years. Longevity increases if not exposed to constant humidity and if treated occasionally with neutral balm.
