Protek Watches Model 1012 Carbon Composite Dive Watch 42mm

The Protek Watches Model 1012 is a 42mm dive watch built around a carbon composite case, a 60-click unidirectional ratcheting bezel, and a Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination system that glows continuously for 25 years without requiring an external light source. It carries a Miyota 2S60 quartz movement, water resistance to 300 meters, and a sapphire crystal with antireflective coating. It is available in one configuration: black case with red dial and charcoal rubber strap.

Built to Read in the Dark

The Protek Model 1012 uses Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination, a self-powered system that requires no charging from sunlight or artificial light. Tritium gas tubes glow continuously for 25 years and output 100 times the brightness of conventional photoluminescent lume systems. For operators working in low-light environments where a quick, reliable time check matters, that means the dial is readable without any preparation or prior light exposure.

Case and Crystal Built for Depth

The 42mm case is carbon composite, keeping weight to 73.2 grams while providing a durable shell for demanding conditions. Water resistance is rated to 300 meters, with each watch tested in both air and water. The screw-in crown uses multiple O-rings, and the screw-in caseback is 316L stainless steel with an embossed signature design, both construction choices that support the depth rating. The sapphire crystal includes an antireflective coating to reduce glare during surface use.

Reliable Movement, Long Battery Life

The Protek Model 1012 runs a Japanese Miyota 2S60 quartz 3-hand and date movement with a 10-year battery life. Quartz accuracy and a long service interval make this a practical choice for daily wear or extended field use where battery replacement is inconvenient. The genuine rubber strap pairs with a steel signature buckle and measures 22mm at the lug width, with an overall case thickness of 13.95mm.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Protek Model 1012 suits divers, tactical operators, and active users who need a legible, low-maintenance timepiece in low-light or wet conditions. The tritium illumination system, 300-meter water resistance, and quartz movement make it practical for extended field or water use without reliance on charging routines or battery swaps for years at a time.

This watch is not a mechanical or automatic movement watch and does not suit buyers specifically seeking a self-winding or manual-wind movement. No dive watch certification to ISO 6425 or any other formal dive watch standard is stated for this model; buyers requiring a formally certified dive instrument should verify compliance independently before purchase.

Common Questions

How does the tritium illumination work, and does it need to be charged?

The Protek Model 1012 uses a Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination system, which is self-powered by tritium gas tubes. It requires no exposure to sunlight or artificial light to glow. The system glows continuously for 25 years and is stated to be 100 times brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume systems.

What is the water resistance rating, and how was it tested?

The Protek Model 1012 is water resistant to 300 meters. Each watch is tested in both air and water. The screw-in crown with multiple O-rings and the screw-in caseback support this rating. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and ensure the crown is fully screwed down before submersion.

What movement does the Protek Model 1012 use, and how long does the battery last?

The Protek Model 1012 runs a Japanese Miyota 2S60 quartz movement with a 3-hand display and date function. The battery life is rated at 10 years. Quartz movements maintain consistent accuracy without winding and require minimal maintenance over that service interval.

What strap does this watch come with, and what is the lug width?

The Protek Model 1012 comes fitted with a genuine charcoal rubber strap and a steel signature buckle. The lug width is 22mm, which is the measurement needed when sourcing a replacement strap. The overall case thickness is 13.95mm.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
