It ships in one configuration: black dial with a charcoal rubber strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Perform at Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Protek Model 1001 carries a 300-meter water resistance rating, and every unit is tested in both air and water before shipping. The screw-in crown is fitted with multiple O-rings, and the caseback is a screw-in 316L stainless steel embossed signature design. Both construction choices maintain the seal under sustained pressure rather than relying on a simple push-fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVisibility Without a Light Source\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination system is self-powered: it glows continuously for 25 years without needing to be charged by an external light source. Protek states it glows 100 times brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume systems. For a dive watch worn in low-visibility water or low-light environments, the practical difference is that the dial is readable whether or not the watch was recently exposed to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCase and Strap Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 42mm case is carbon composite, keeping the overall weight to 73.2 grams at a 13.95mm thickness. The 60-click unidirectional ratcheting bezel is a standard dive-timing design: clicks in one direction only, so an accidental knock can only reduce your apparent remaining time, never extend it. The sapphire crystal carries an antireflective coating for glare-free reading. The rubber strap uses a steel tube molded into the strap body so spring pins pass through solid material rather than rubber alone, and the buckle is a steel signature design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Composite Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42mm diameter, 13.95mm thickness, 22mm lug width, 73.2g total weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60-Click Unidirectional Bezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e ratcheting dive timing bezel that moves in one direction only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300-Meter Water Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e screw-in crown with multiple O-rings; all units tested in air and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss Pro-Glo T25 Tritium Illumination:\u003c\/strong\u003e self-powered continuous glow for 25 years, no charge required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiyota 2S60 Quartz Movement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese-made 3-hand and date movement with 10-year battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinforced Rubber Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e steel tube molded into strap body for spring-pin strength; steel signature buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCase Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e42mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCase Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCarbon Composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCase Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e13.95mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLug Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e22mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e73.2 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSapphire with antireflective coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCaseback\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e316L stainless steel screw-in embossed signature\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e316L stainless steel screw-in with multiple O-rings\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e60-click unidirectional ratcheting dive timing\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWater Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e300 meters (tested in air and water)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMiyota 2S60 quartz, 3-hand and date\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBattery Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIllumination\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSwiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium, self-powered, 25-year continuous glow\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDial Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGenuine rubber, charcoal, with steel signature buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePTK 1001\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Protek Model 1001 suits divers, water-sports participants, and tactical users who need a reliable depth-rated watch with always-on illumination and a low-maintenance quartz movement. The 42mm case and 73.2g weight work well for wearers who want a substantial dive watch without the bulk of larger sport cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Model 1001 is not an automatic or mechanical watch; buyers who prefer a self-winding movement should look elsewhere. No dive-computer functionality, helium escape valve, or ISO 6425 certification is stated for this watch, so it should not be treated as a certified instrument for professional or technical diving applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the tritium illumination work, and does it need to be charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Protek Model 1001 uses the Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium system, which is self-powered by a low-level radioactive gas sealed inside small glass tubes on the dial and hands. It glows continuously for 25 years without exposure to any external light source. Protek states it glows 100 times brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume, which requires regular light exposure to remain visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the water resistance rating, and how was it tested?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Protek Model 1001 is rated to 300 meters of water resistance. Protek states that every unit is tested in both air and water before shipping. The screw-in crown with multiple O-rings and the screw-in caseback support that rating. Buyers should follow standard practice of rinsing the watch after saltwater exposure and having seals inspected periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat movement does the Model 1001 use, and how long does the battery last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Protek Model 1001 runs on a Miyota 2S60 Japanese quartz movement displaying hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The battery is rated for 10 years under normal use, making the watch low-maintenance compared to mechanical alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow is the rubber strap reinforced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe charcoal rubber strap on the Protek Model 1001 has a steel tube molded into the strap body at the spring-pin attachment points. This means the spring pins pass through solid steel rather than rubber, significantly increasing the strap's resistance to tearing at the lug attachment. The buckle is a steel signature design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the Model 1001 have a sapphire crystal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Protek Model 1001 uses a sapphire crystal with an antireflective coating. Sapphire is one of the hardest materials used in watch crystals and resists scratching under normal wear. The antireflective coating reduces glare for easier reading in bright conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Protek Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67301449990515,"sku":"TGD-PTK 1001","price":514.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/ptk-1001_l.jpg?v=1793763088","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/protek-model-1001-carbon-composite-dive-watch-42mm","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
