Strap for Anomaly-01 Forged Carbon / Black

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-01 is 24 mm. This dimension represents the internal spacing between the lugs of the case and allows the fitting of straps specifically dimensioned for this width. The 24 mm measurement was deliberately chosen to maintain visual equilibrium between the 42 mm case and wrist attachment.

For the Anomaly-01, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned alligator, which develop natural patina and create aesthetic contrast with the forged carbon case. Shell cordovan offers organic lustre harmonious with titanium tones. NATO canvas in grey or black maintains coherence with the timepiece's radical constructive philosophy. High-density FKM rubber ensures grip without slippage for dynamic contexts.

To change the strap, position the watch with the dial facing downwards. Use a spring bar tool to gently compress the pin (spring bar) from inside the lug. The pin retracts, allowing the old strap attachment to slide free. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the same pins, then release the spring bar tool. Verify that the strap is securely fixed.

Yes, any strap with a 24 mm lug width is compatible with the Anomaly-01. We recommend verifying that the strap has consistent thickness (typically 3–4 mm) to avoid lateral play. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of 24 mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all tested for optical and functional compatibility on cases of this proportion.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned shell cordovan) lasts on average 3–5 years with regular daily use, developing natural patina that increases its aesthetic value. Longevity depends on exposure to humidity, perspiration, and UV rays. FKM rubber demonstrates greater durability (5–7 years) owing to chemical resistance. NATO canvas resists for 4–6 years. Storing leather straps in a dry environment and avoiding prolonged submersion significantly extends longevity.
