Strap for Anomaly-01 Stainless Steel / Silver

The CODE41 Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-SIL-ST-ALIG-BR features a 24mm lug width. This dimension is specific to the case architecture: CODE41 widened the integrated lugs to visually emphasise the central structure. This 24mm specification requires specialised straps; always verify compatibility before purchase, as common sizes such as 22mm or 26mm are incompatible.

For the Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-SIL-ST-ALIG-BR, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning represents the superior aesthetic choice: the regular grain complements the brushed case without visual competition. Black vegetable-tanned calf maintains minimalist rigour. For sports or diving use, an FKM rubber in anthracite grey is technically ideal. The choice depends on use context: formal, daily wear, or technical application.

The Anomaly-01 AN01-IN-SIL-ST-ALIG-BR strap is changed by removing the spring bars connecting the lugs to the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool: insert the tip beneath the bar, apply gentle outward pressure and the bar retracts allowing removal. Position the new strap, align the lug holes with the bars and reinsert. A straightforward operation requiring 2-3 minutes for experienced users; if uncertain, entrust to a professional watchmaker.

Yes. Milanostraps.it offers a specialised collection of 24mm straps compatible with the Anomaly-01: artisanal leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), technical nylon NATO, FKM rubber. All straps are selected for construction quality and durability. Universal spring bars ensure physical compatibility with the Anomaly-01.

Leather strap longevity depends on material and tanning method. Vegetable-tanned alligator withstands 4-6 years of daily wear; calf 3-5 years; shell cordovan 6-10 years due to naturally denser fibres. FKM rubber remains functionally indefinite but hardens after 5-7 years. The patina developed during use is a desirable characteristic, not a defect. Maintenance: avoid prolonged moisture exposure, apply leather balm every six months.
