At the heart of ProTek’s offerings are robust materials that can handle anything life throws at them. The cases are crafted from Carbon Composite, 316L Stainless Steel, or Titanium, all chosen for their superior strength and durability. Each watch features a screw-on case back, and most also come with screw-down crowns to ensure maximum water resistance. The two dive series presented here feature carbon and stainless steel cases and both have screw crowns. For those venturing into the deep, ProTek’s dive watches are rated to an impressive 200 or 300 meters, with all watches tested in air and water, while their land-based field watches offer water resistance up to 100 meters—perfect for those who need reliability on land or in water. 

Crystal clarity is another hallmark of ProTek’s timepieces, with all models featuring highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coatings to eliminate glare, ensuring a clear view of the dials, no matter the lighting conditions. The Carbon Composite Case United States Marine Corps series features a tight unidirectional 60-click timing bezel, an antireflective sapphire crystal, and a unique diamond plate motif on the dials in USMC Pantone colours. The dressier Steel case dive series dials have a horizontal pattern dial treatment. Paired with genuine rubber straps or specially treated waterproof Italian leather straps, these watches offer comfort without compromising on ruggedness. Inside, ProTek relies on dependable Japanese TMI/Seiko 24-jewel automatic movements, ensuring reliability for years to come.

ProTek takes pride in their no-shortcuts approach to manufacturing, and each watch is made in a dust-free clean-room environment, guaranteeing the highest quality. The watches are powered by ProTek ProGlo™ self-powered illumination system, providing continuous glow for up to 25 years without a need for a “charge” from an external light source — an asset particularly appreciated by those who operate in low-light environments. This blend of professionalism and cutting-edge technology has earned ProTek watches a place on the wrists of a wide array of first responders that include law enforcement, SWAT teams, military personnel, EMTs, and mountain rescue workers—those who need a timepiece they can count on, no matter the circumstances.

ProTek has also received a significant stamp of approval as an Official Watch of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This affiliation speaks volumes about the reliability, accuracy, and rugged durability of ProTek watches, and it’s an honour that reinforces the brand’s commitment to those who serve. Whether you’re a Marine, a first responder, or just someone who wants a dependable, well-crafted watch for your adventures, ProTek delivers. This series has a suggested retail of only $695, well below similarly equipped tritium lume timepieces from most competitors, so it also offers an outstanding value proposition.

The other new automatic collection in the ProTek lineup is the Automatic Dive 2200 Series of watches, and also feature the same unparalleled self-powered ProGlo tritium illumination. The watches have a 42mm 316L Stainless Steel Case and tight 120-click Unidirectional Ratcheting Dive Timing Bezel, a sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating, a screw on embossed logo case back, and screw crown with 200 meters water resistance, and of course the same dependable Japanese Seiko/TMI 24-jewel Automatic Mechanical 3-Hand and Date Movement. Priced at $750, this series again represents a great value when compared to its tritium lume competitors on the market.

Founded by Barry Cohen, the watch industry veteran behind Luminox, ProTek brings a wealth of expertise and innovation to the table. Cohen pioneered self-powered tritium illuminated timepieces for the consumer market decades ago when he was inspired by the need for a timepiece that could be read in the dark—a solution he originally brought to the consumer market in his former Luminox brand that used the same self-powered illumination. He is back in his lane with ProTek continuing this tradition of innovation, ensuring that anyone who wears one of their watches is equipped with a timepiece that’s ready for anything—day or night, land or sea.

For those seeking a dependable, rugged and reliable watch that doesn’t compromise on style or quality, ProTek is a brand that delivers on all fronts. Whether you’re facing the challenges of a high-stakes profession or enjoying an active outdoor lifestyle, ProTek watches are built to go the distance—and then some.
