Strap for Anomaly-02 Stainless Steel / Silver

The Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-SIL-ST-PER-BE is fitted with a 24mm lug width. This measurement represents the distance between the centres of the two spring bar holes on the case and remains constant across all examples of this line. To verify strap compatibility, always measure from the inner point of one lug to the inner point of the other using a digital calliper or precision ruler.

The ideal strap choice depends on intended usage and aesthetic preference. For a formal, reflective finish that mirrors the case's minimalism, we recommend alligator in cognac or ebony black. For those seeking sport-refined versatility and reliability, NATO straps in grey slate or navy blue 3-ring weave offer daily security and comfort. Vegetable-tanned calf leather represents the perfect compromise between elegance and aesthetic evolution over time.

Strap replacement involves removing the spring bars from within the case lugs. Position the watch on a soft surface with the caseback facing upward. Use a spring bar removal tool or fine needle to gently extract the first bar toward the exterior. Once free, the old strap detaches easily. Align the new 24mm-compatible strap and carefully reinsert the bars until they click into place. Verify that the strap is centred and both bars are fully secured before wearing the timepiece.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible with the Anomaly-02 AN02-IN-SIL-ST-PER-BE, regardless of manufacturer. However, construction quality varies considerably. Artisanal straps in full-grain leather or technical textiles guarantee superior longevity and comfort compared to industrial production. Always verify that the spring bars are straight and the lug holes perfectly aligned: measurement error causes instability of the timepiece on the wrist.

Leather strap durability depends on tanning type, daily wear intensity, and environmental conditions. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning can endure 3 to 5 years of regular use whilst developing natural patina. Vegetable-tanned calf straps have slightly shorter lifespan (2-4 years) due to lower fibre density. Leather fears moisture and prolonged sun exposure: protect your strap from heavy rain and extreme heat. With simple quarterly maintenance—gentle cleaning and conditioning with natural creams—you can extend useful life by up to 50 percent.
