Strap for Anomaly-01 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width is 24mm. This is a specific parameter of the CODE41 project and requires dedicated 24mm straps. To verify: measure with a digital calliper the width between the lug pins, perpendicular to the case. An end-to-end measurement will yield approximately 26-27mm (due to pin geometry), but the internal width is the relevant parameter corresponding to 24mm exactly.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal contexts: vegetable-tanned calf or alligator in brown or black, which amplify the constructive seriousness of the piece. For contemporary-sporting use: NATO straps in Cordura or 1000D nylon. For aquatic or summer environments: black FKM rubber, which preserves readability of the exposed movement. Milano Straps offers all these options in 24mm sizing.

Strap replacement is straightforward: flip the watch over and locate the two lug pins (one per side). Use a spring bar tool or small lever to push the pin from one side, extracting it completely. Remove the strap, then thread the new 24mm strap, aligning the lateral holes. Reinsert the pin until the locking click. Do not force: the pin should slide smoothly.

Yes, provided they are dedicated 24mm lug width straps. Do not use 20mm or 22mm straps: these will cause mechanical play, strap slippage and premature wear to the lugs. Milano Straps offers only verified aftermarket straps constructed artisanally for this width, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and durability.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, with proper maintenance, lasts 18-36 months of daily wear. Durability depends on sun exposure, humidity and frequency of use. Vegetable leather develops a natural patina over time, enriching its aesthetic. Avoid prolonged submersion and clean periodically with a damp cloth. Milano Straps offers restoration and regeneration services to extend strap lifespan.
