The Protek Watches Model PT1011 USMC is a 42mm carbon composite dive watch built for tactical environments, featuring a Swiss tritium Pro-Glo T25 illumination system that glows continuously for 25 years without requiring an external light source. It carries a 300-meter water resistance rating and a sapphire crystal with antireflective coating. The watch ships in a single configuration: black dial with a charcoal rubber strap.
Built for Low-Light Readability
The PT1011 USMC uses a Swiss Self-powered Pro-Glo T25 tritium illumination system, which generates its own light continuously for 25 years. Unlike photoluminescent lume that must be charged by exposure to light, tritium requires no pre-charging and remains readable in complete darkness. The Pro-Glo T25 system glows 100 times brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume systems, making it a practical choice for operations where ambient light cannot be relied on.
Dive-Ready Construction
The 42mm case is constructed from carbon composite and backed by a 316L stainless steel screw-in caseback with an embossed signature finish. A 316L stainless steel screw-in crown with multiple O-rings and a 60-click unidirectional ratcheting dive timing bezel complete the water-resistant package. All PT1011 USMC watches are tested in both air and water, with a rated depth of 300 meters.
Reliable Movement and Comfortable Wear
Power comes from a Japanese Miyota 2S60 quartz 3-hand and date movement with a 10-year battery, keeping maintenance intervals long and reliability high. The sapphire crystal carries an antireflective coating to reduce glare in bright conditions. At 73.2 grams and 13.95mm thick with a 22mm lug width, the watch pairs with a genuine rubber strap and steel signature buckle designed to stay secure under active use.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The PT1011 USMC suits divers, military and law enforcement personnel, and tactical users who need a legible, low-maintenance watch in dark or wet environments. The 300-meter water resistance and unidirectional dive bezel make it appropriate for recreational and professional diving. The tritium illumination system is well suited to anyone who cannot rely on charging lume before a mission or dive.
This watch is not a smartwatch and carries no electronic connectivity, GPS, or altimeter functions. It is available in one configuration only (black dial with charcoal rubber strap) and is not offered in additional case sizes or dial colors in this listing.
Common Questions
How does the tritium illumination work, and does it need to be charged?
The PT1011 USMC uses a Swiss Self-powered Pro-Glo T25 tritium system that generates its own light through a natural process, requiring no exposure to sunlight or artificial light to activate. The system glows continuously for 25 years and is 100 times brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume, making the watch readable in complete darkness at any time.
What is the water resistance rating, and how was it tested?
The Protek PT1011 USMC is rated water resistant to 300 meters. All PT1011 USMC watches are tested in both air and water. The screw-in crown with multiple O-rings and screw-in caseback contribute to maintaining that seal during diving use.
What movement does the PT1011 USMC use, and how long does the battery last?
The PT1011 USMC runs on a Japanese Miyota 2S60 quartz movement with a 3-hand and date display. The movement carries a 10-year battery, keeping service intervals long relative to shorter-life quartz movements.
What strap and hardware does the watch come with?
The PT1011 USMC ships with a genuine rubber strap in charcoal paired with a steel signature buckle. The lug width is 22mm. This listing covers one configuration only (black dial with charcoal rubber strap), and no additional strap options are included.
Can this watch ship to any US state?
The Protek PT1011 USMC is a tactical watch, not body armor, and is not subject to the New York or Connecticut body armor shipping restrictions. No state-level shipping restrictions specific to this watch are identified. Contact us if you have questions about your order.

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.
