Strap for Anomaly-01 Black PVD / Black

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-01 is 24mm. This measurement represents the distance between the lateral case attachments, taken from shoulder to shoulder. Any strap intended for this model must precisely respect this width to ensure a perfect fit and optimal structural compatibility.

For a skeletonised dial watch like the Anomaly-01, we recommend an alligator strap in black with vegetable tanning or a vegetable-tanned calf leather that does not visually compete with the exposed movement. An oxford grey NATO strap represents a practical alternative for daily wear. Satinised black rubber is ideal for those preferring pure constructive narrative.

To change the strap, use a spring bar remover or small flat tool. Position the watch on a protected surface with the lugs facing upwards. Insert the tool into the gap between the lug and case to compress the internal spring, then extract the lug from the anchor hole. Repeat on the other side. Proceed in reverse order to mount the new 24mm strap.

Yes, you can use aftermarket straps as long as they respect the 24mm width. MilanoStraps offers a specialised collection of handcrafted 24mm straps in vegetable-tanned leather, NATO and rubber, guaranteeing construction quality and structural fit. Always verify that the strap is specifically dimensioned for 24mm.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with regular use, depending on exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations and frequency of wear. The patina that develops over time is characteristic of natural leather, not a defect. Periodically apply leather balm to keep it supple. Rubber or NATO straps have a longer lifespan of 5-7 years.
