22mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap Spaulding Super Flex Dodgers Panerai Omega Seiko

The glove used for this strap was an autograph Maury Wills Spaulding baseball glove.  Wills was mainly a player for the LA Dodgers and was instrumental in their championship teams in the mid-1960's.  He’s credited with reviving the stolen base part of baseball.  He was a 7 time All Star, 3 time World Series Champion, NL MVP in 1962, 2 time Gold Glove Winner, and 6 time NL stolen base leader.  

This baseball glove strap measures 22mm (no taper), 75 mm x 125 mm x ~4.6 mm thick.   I stitched this strap with beige Tiger thread, the best waxed polyester thread available.  Edges were burnished smooth.  

This strap features the “Maury Wills” autograph on the buckle side and “Super Flex Web” on the long side.  The strap comes with one floating keeper: “Spaulding”  The first hole is 50mm from the lug end.  Extra holes can be punched upon request. 

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

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.
