Strap for Anomaly-01 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-01 is 24mm. This measurement represents the horizontal distance between the two lugs on the case and is essential for purchasing a compatible strap. Any strap with a 24mm lug width will fit your watch correctly without residual tension.

The ideal pairing depends on your intended use. For a formal and versatile option, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning offers elegance and evolving colour patina over time. For those seeking practicality and reversibility, a cotton sateen NATO strap combines functionality with stylistic coherence. A bourbon shell cordovan strap represents the intermediate alternative, with natural chromatic dynamism and refined texture.

The strap of the Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-BK-ST-LEA-COU-SP is changed by removing the two metal lugs (spring bars) using a dedicated tool (spring bar removal tool). Insert the tip of the tool into the space between the lug and the case, press gently to release the spring, and slide the strap outward. The operation takes only a few minutes and requires no technical expertise.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width will be compatible with the AN01-IN-BK-ST-LEA-COU-SP. Compatibility depends solely on the lug width measurement, not on the strap manufacturer. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of 24mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, curated for construction quality and aesthetic coherence with the Anomaly-01 design.

Lifespan depends on the leather quality and intensity of use. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn daily, maintains full functionality for 3-5 years whilst developing a natural patina aesthetically. With moderate use (2-3 days weekly), longevity can extend to 6-8 years. Factors such as humidity, solar exposure, and regular maintenance significantly influence ageing.
