20mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap Ted Williams Boston Red Sox Omega Seiko Sinn

The glove used for this strap was an autograph Ted Williams baseball glove.  Williams played his entire 19 year career for the Boston Red Sox.  He was a 19 time All Star, two time AL MVP, two time Triple Crown winner, 6 time AL batting champion, 4 time AL home run leader, 4 time AL RBI leader, MLB record 0.482 OBP, and his #9 is retired by the Red Sox.

This baseball glove strap measures 20mm (no taper), 78 mm x 122 mm x ~4.4 mm thick.   I stitched this strap with red Tiger thread - the best waxed polyester thread available.  Edges were burnished smooth.  

This strap features the “Nylon Stitched” on the long side and the “Custom Built” on the buckle side.  The strap comes with two floating keepers: “Ted Williams” and the glove number “16144”.   The first hole is 50mm from the lug end.  Extra holes can be punched upon request. 

The strap comes with a custom stainless steel Mott screw-in Pre-V style buckle.  I also have custom Mott bronze buckles, which can be exchanged at no additional charge.  If not specified, the strap will ship with a bronze buckle as shown.  

Sizing:  Baseball glove straps that are over 4.5mm tend to wear a bit smaller than their dimensions, since most OEM straps are less than 4 mm thick.  If you’re on the fence, I suggest you go with a longer strap or reach out about a custom strap.  

Most of my 24mm and 22mm straps will also work with Apple watches.  I can test fit adapters on them to make sure there is enough clearance.  Please ask before purchasing.

Why Baseball Glove Straps?

Baseball gloves are soft, thick and only get better with time. What better material to make into a watch strap?! The glove and thus the strap is soft yet durable and has acquired patina and character during its lifetime.

The strap is made 100% from the glove it came from, making each strap a limited edition!  Mott Straps is the only strap maker using the glove for the entire strap - even the bottom layer.  You get the look and the feel of a baseball glove with a Mott Strap.

The softness of glove leather makes the thickness work well on any watch, but especially with larger watches such as Panerai, Kaventsmann, Ennebi, Omega, etc.
