CODE41’s NB24 has established itself in the pantheon of community projects, having gone down in CODE41 history. During the launch of pre-orders for the Creator Edition in 2021, no fewer than 1,380 watches sold out in barely a few weeks, making it CODE41’s biggest triumph to date.
Boasting high-end components (CODE41-exclusive Swiss manufacture movement, grade 5 titanium and AeroCarbon case, sapphire crystal and an extremely rare feature in the shape of a dial-side oscillating weight), it perfectly embodies one of CODE41’s raisons d’être: making Fine Watchmaking accessible to as many as possible.
Why the name NB24?
It is Nigel Bailly, race driver and CODE41 ambassador, whose initials have been given to the NB24. In 2021, he accomplished his lifelong dream of participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
NB24 + Stratom, the ultimate duo
Beyond the new orange dial chosen by the community, the NB24 has a sizable surprise in store: the Stratom. This brand new case, recently introduced to immense success during the launch of the T360 Tourbillon, will accompany the next edition of the NB24, which will be available for pre-order from September 20th.
NativeDNA or Stratom, each with its own style
On one side, the NativeDNA: iconic with its chambered construction and ever so distinctive lugs, this original case boasts a refined esthetic that gives prominence to classic elegance. A serial success story!

On the other, the new Stratom displays a timeless urban design which imposes itself through its sporty lines, four visible screws and highly technical multi-layer design. An explosive cocktail that already has its devotees!

The NB24 in 3 key points:
- Cutting-edge materials The NB24 chronograph is available in AeroCarbon, an extremely resistant, high-density aeronautic carbon fiber, as well as grade 5 titanium, which offers double the toughness of steel and very fine detail in the finishing. High-tech materials which reflect the strong, technical character of the case and dial. Each model is offered with a wide range of interchangeable straps.
- An exceptional movement With the chronograph being one of CODE41 partner Concepto’s specialties, the team had the opportunity to benefit from their base, built on the famed “Valjoux” 7750 movement, renowned for its robustness and reliability. CODE41 has modified it by moving the counters, redesigning the bridges and adding a dial-side peripheral weight. All of the components, except for the barrel spring and jewels, are produced in-house. The clear advantage of this exclusive movement: the use of an existing base, made reliable a number of years ago, thus avoiding the tiresome problems of youth.
- A dial-side peripheral oscillating weight The peripheral weight is a true technical feat, mastered today by only a handful of brands. CODE41 has already included one in its X41, but for the NB24, they’ve gone even further by making it visible on the dial side. A feature found on very few Fine Watchmaking pieces, and even then at often stratospheric prices.
