It carries an embossed USMC logo on the 316L stainless steel caseback and runs Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination that glows continuously for 25 years without charging. Available in one configuration: charcoal rubber strap with matching dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Withstand Submersion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Protek Model 1215 is rated to 300 meters water resistance, with every watch tested in both air and water. The 316L stainless steel crown screws in with multiple O-rings, reducing the points where water can enter under pressure. For divers and water-operations professionals, that combination of depth rating and tested sealing provides a meaningful baseline of confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReadable in Any Light Condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Model 1215 uses a Swiss Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination system, which is self-powered and glows continuously for 25 years without needing to be charged by an external light source. A sapphire crystal with antireflective coating reduces surface glare, keeping the dial readable in bright overhead light as well as low-visibility conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMechanical Movement, No Battery Required\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TMI 24-jewel automatic mechanical movement drives the three-hand and date display without a battery. For professionals who cannot easily replace a battery in the field, or who simply prefer not to track battery life, an automatic movement removes that variable. The 60-click unidirectional ratcheting bezel locks elapsed-time readings in place and resists accidental rotation in the wrong direction during a dive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e42mm Carbon Composite Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e paired with a 60-click unidirectional ratcheting dive timing bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e316L Stainless Steel Caseback:\u003c\/strong\u003e screw-in, embossed with USMC logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSapphire Crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e antireflective coating for glare-free viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300m Water Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e all watches tested in both air and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss Pro-Glo T25 Tritium Illumination:\u003c\/strong\u003e self-powered, continuous 25-year glow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Rubber Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e charcoal, with 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\u003eCaseback\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e316L Stainless Steel, screw-in, embossed USMC logo\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e316L Stainless Steel, screw-in, multiple O-rings\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\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eJapanese TMI 24-jewel automatic mechanical, 3-hand and date\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\u003eWater Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e300 meters\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e60-click unidirectional ratcheting dive timing bezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGenuine rubber, charcoal, steel signature buckle\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\u003eThickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e16.35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e84.65 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePTK 1215\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 1215 suits divers, military and law enforcement personnel, and outdoor professionals who need a legible, battery-free timepiece rated for serious water exposure.
