1. Best Overall — Brown Buttero Chunky Strap
Every watch needs a go-to strap, and for the Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery, this is it.
The Brown Buttero Chunky Strap features Buttero leather from the Walpier tannery in Italy. This vegetable-tanned leather develops one of the most beautiful patinas in watchmaking — scratches blend into the surface and the colour deepens over time. If you enjoy watching your strap age gracefully, this is the one. At 3.0mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
Paired with the Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery's blue dial, this strap adds a layer of personality that the factory option does not offer. The 17.3mm case thickness means a padded strap like this one feels proportional and substantial.
2. Best Dressy — Tan Crazy Horse Chunky Strap

It is built for people who actually wear their watches, not baby them. At 3.0mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery's Brushed titanium case calls for a silver (brushed) buckle — the matte finish of titanium pairs better with brushed hardware. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery
Swapping straps on the Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery uses a standard 24mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 24mm will fit perfectly.
