Strap for Anomaly-02 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-SIL-ST-COU-VB is 24mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lug holes and is critical for verifying compatibility with any replacement strap. A 24mm width is non-standard, so it is essential to consult the dedicated 24mm lug width collection before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For the Anomaly-02, we recommend materials that enhance the skeletonised dial design without competing with the transparent crystal. A vegetable-tanned calf, black or burgundy shell cordovan, or premium technical rubber will provide aesthetic balance. Avoid straps with oversized buckles or decorations that would distract from the exposed mechanics. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 24mm-compatible straps for this model.

To replace the strap on the Anomaly-02, use a spring bar tool to gently compress the small pin that secures the strap to the lugs. Ensure the new strap has a 24mm lug width to guarantee secure installation without play. If you prefer a risk-free procedure, Atelier Casati Milano offers a bespoke replacement service by appointment, with expert consultation on material selection.

Yes, it is compatible with any aftermarket strap provided it has a 24mm lug width. The non-standard 24mm width requires more conscious sourcing compared to models with 20mm or 22mm lugs. Milano Straps has catalogued a complete collection of 24mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, selected to maintain the aesthetic balance of this independent timepiece.

The durability of a leather strap depends on material quality and usage patterns. A vegetable-tanned calf strap can last 3–5 years with routine maintenance (periodic cleaning, air-drying after moisture exposure). Shell cordovan, more resistant to abrasion, achieves 5–8 years. The Anomaly-02's stainless steel does not corrode leather, but prolonged humidity exposure accelerates wear. Conditioning the leather every 6–12 months significantly extends strap lifespan.
