Strap for Anomaly-01 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of the CODE41 Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-BK-ST-PER-BR is 24mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs (spring bar holes) on the case and represents the standard construction of this model. A compatible strap must have a width of exactly 24mm at the ends that insert into the lugs.

For the CODE41 Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-BK-ST-PER-BR we recommend three primary options: vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather (Terra Bruciata) for elegant ageing and natural patina development; shell cordovan horse leather for maximum durability and intrinsic brilliance; vulcanised rubber or Cordura NATO fabric for robust daily use and chromatic versatility. The choice depends on primary use: formal, sports-oriented, or mixed.

To change the strap: 1) obtain a spring bar removal tool (springbar tool), available at quality watch retailers; 2) insert the tool tip into the small hole beneath the case lug; 3) gently push inward to release the spring bar; 4) remove the old strap; 5) insert the new 24mm strap aligning the holes with the case lugs; 6) push inward with the tool until you feel the click. Avoid forcing to prevent case damage.

Yes, all Milano Straps in 24mm width are compatible with the CODE41 Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-BK-ST-PER-BR. The collection includes options in vegetable-tanned leather, shell cordovan, alligator, NATO, and rubber, all available in 24mm lug width. Straps are ready to ship and customisable according to your colour and finish preferences.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap (such as Milano Straps' Terra Bruciata) lasts between 3 and 5 years of moderate daily use before requiring replacement, developing a fascinating patina over time. Shell cordovan, being more durable, extends longevity to 5-7 years. Lifespan depends on: frequency of use, humidity exposure, periodic cleaning care, and initial tanning quality. The AN01-IN-BK-ST-PER-BR deserves excellent straps that age with dignity.
