Strap for Anomaly-02 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width (misura ansa) of the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-SIL-ST-BK is precisely 24 millimetres. This measurement defines the distance between the two attachment points on the stainless steel case and is essential for aftermarket strap compatibility. A 24mm specification grants access to an extensive catalogue of artisanal solutions, ranging from vegetable-tanned leather and NATO fabrics to technical rubber compounds.

Optimal strap selection depends on the desired aesthetic balance. To emphasise the transparent nature of the skeletonised movement, we recommend a dark leather—brown, black, or burgundy—in vegetable tanning, which imparts depth and authenticity. Alternatively, a NATO strap in neutral tones maintains focus on the exposed mechanics, whilst a technical rubber underscores the functional character deliberately. Colour selection should dialogue with the stainless steel case, accentuating its reflective luminosity.

Strap replacement is straightforward, requiring only a springbar tool (a specialised small lever). Position the watch on a stable surface, insert the tool's tip beneath the spring bar (springbar) passing through the lug hole, and depress gently until the bar disengages from the hole. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new strap by pushing the spring bar into the opposite holes until it clicks into place. Should you lack specific tools, consult a specialist: our Milano Straps artisans offer professional strap-change services in our atelier.

Yes, absolutely. Any artisanal strap measuring 24mm lug width is compatible with the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-SIL-ST-BK. Milano Straps curates a selection of 24mm straps in diverse materials and finishes: Italian vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, calf, NATO fabrics, and technical rubbers. The artisanal quality of our straps ensures durability and aesthetic superiority over OEM solutions, allowing you to fully personalise the chromatic and tactile identity of your timepiece.

Leather strap longevity depends on intensity of use, environmental exposure, and tanning quality. An artisanal vegetable-tanned leather strap, such as those offered by Milano Straps, maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years of daily wear, developing a patina that enhances aesthetic character. Exposure to water, perspiration, and UV rays accelerates deterioration. We recommend periodic cleaning with a damp cloth and application of leather-specific balms. For intensive wear, consider technical rubber or NATO fabric straps—materials more resistant to moisture and chemical agents.
