Strap for Anomaly-02 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-SIL-ST-LEA-PER-COU-SP is 24 millimetres. This measurement is crucial when selecting a compatible strap: always verify that the strap has exactly 24mm width in the lug area—the section that rests between the case lugs.

The optimal choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal and daily wear, we recommend a vegetable-tanned leather strap—satin-finished alligator for contemporary elegance, brown calf leather for classical versatility. For sports or summer environments, a NATO strap in technical canvas or natural vulcanised rubber offers practicality and water resistance. All our 24mm straps are dimensioned for this model.

Strap replacement requires a specialised tool: a spring bar tool (extractor). Gently remove the primary spring bars securing the current strap to the case lugs, detach the old strap, and insert the new one by positioning the spring bars into their respective lateral grooves. Ensure the strap has 24mm width and that the spring bars are fully engaged before wearing the watch.

Yes, provided the original strap has a 24-millimetre lug width. Our Milano Straps archives contain hundreds of 24mm-compatible straps from Swiss, French, and Japanese manufacturers: all are dimensionally compatible. However, we recommend selecting straps of comparable quality to the CODE41 case to ensure aesthetic balance and functional longevity.

An artisanal-quality leather strap—vegetable-tanned aniline calf or shell cordovan—maintains functionality and aesthetic appeal for 3-5 years with routine maintenance (periodic cleaning, protection from excessive humidity). Longevity varies according to frequency of wear, ambient climate, and tanning method. Milano Straps vegetable-tanned calf straps develop natural patina over time, enhancing their aesthetic character whilst preserving structural integrity. Replace the strap when leather shows visible cracks or when primary spring bars begin losing tension.
