26mm Johnny Walker Black Baseball Glove Watch Strap Panerai Kaventsmann Ennebi

Up for sale is an incredible, all handmade 26mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap.

The glove used for this strap was a vintage Johnny Walker black baseball glove.  This glove was well loved, and had faded silver writing - very rare and hard to find.  

This baseball glove strap measures 26mm (no taper), 131 mm x 87 mm x around 4 mm thick on the hole side, 3.6 mm on the buckle side.

I hand-stitched this strap with silver Tiger thread, the best waxed synthetic thread available, to match the faded lettering.  The buckle side features the writing “Professional Model”.  The long side says (very faded)” NYLON STITCHED” on one side, and Johnny Walker on the underside.  In truth, you can wear it either way.  The strap comes with two large floating keepers: one is plain leather, the other has the red Johnny Walker patch.   The first hole is 50 mm from the lug end.  Extra holes can also be punched.  

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

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, etc.
