22mm Dave Winfield Baseball Glove Leather Watch Strap Padres Angels Yankees Panerai Omega Ennebi

Up for sale is an all handmade 22 mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap.

The glove used for this strap was a Rawlings Dave Winfield autograph baseball glove.  Winfield played for a number of teams including the Padres, Yankees, Angels, Blue Jays, Twins and Indians (Guardians).  He was a 12 time All Star, 7 time Gold Glove winner, 6 time Silver Slugger, NL RBI leader, has his #31 retired by the Padres, and is in their Hall of Fame.

This baseball glove strap measures 22mm (no taper), 81 mm x 130 mm x ~4.2 mm thick.   I saddle stitched this strap with red Tiger thread - the best waxed polyester thread available.  Edges were burnished smooth.  

This strap features the “Edge-U-Cated” logo on the short side and the “Dave Winfield” autograph on the long side.  The strap comes with one large floating keeper “Rawlings”.  The first hole is 50mm from the lug end.  Extra holes can be punched upon request. 

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