Seiko Wristwatch – Tony Gwynn Personal Timepiece
Seiko watch with a round silver case, blue face, and worn black leather band, personally owned and worn by Tony Gwynn. The watch shows heavy wear with a corroded battery and a badly deteriorated leather band.
Description
Beyond the diamond, Tony Gwynn carried with him a grounded, everyday style that reflected his humility and focus. This Seiko wristwatch, with its silver casing, blue dial, and date display, was one of Gwynn’s personal timepieces. The heavily worn black leather band shows clear signs of daily use, a reminder that Gwynn valued practicality over flash even as one of baseball’s brightest stars. For collectors, pieces like this speak to the human side of a Hall of Famer—beyond the batting titles and Gold Gloves, it’s an artifact of his life away from the field. More than just a watch, it represents the routines and rhythms of a man who always kept time with family, community, and the game he loved.
Disclaimer:
This watch is an older artifact and is in poor condition. The battery compartment shows corrosion and rust from an exploded battery, and the leather band is brittle, worn, and heavily deteriorated. Please review photos carefully for condition details.
Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the item’s authenticity as a career artifact. This item features a silver OVD, verifying its authenticity through the Tony Gwynn Estate. Because this is a personal possession and not an award or game-issued item, it does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
Part of Eternal All-Star, a collection honoring Tony Gwynn’s 15 All-Star appearances with awards, milestone baseballs, game-used gear, and personal keepsakes. This event is the latest chapter in The Realest’s official Tony Gwynn Auction Series following First Inning and Silver Bats, with every piece coming directly from the Gwynn family ensuring true provenance and a direct link to “Mr. Padre” himself.
