Description
The ProTek Model PT1216 USMC Automatic is a 42mm carbon composite dive watch built for those who demand precision, durability, and pride in every detail.

FAQ
What makes tritium (T25) illumination better than standard lume?
Tritium is a self-powered, radioactive hydrogen isotope that produces light through a process called radioluminescence - no sunlight or artificial light is needed to "charge" it. The Pro-Glo T25 system used in this watch glows continuously for 25 years and is rated to shine 100x brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume, making it far superior for low-light and no-light environments.
Is this watch suitable for scuba diving?
Yes. With 300-meter water resistance, a screw-in crown with multiple O-rings, and a screw-in caseback - all individually tested in both air and water - the PT1216 USMC Automatic meets the demands of serious recreational and professional diving. The 60-click unidirectional bezel also allows safe elapsed dive-time tracking.
Does an automatic watch need a battery?
No. An automatic mechanical watch is powered entirely by the natural motion of your wrist. As you move throughout the day, a rotor inside the watch winds the mainspring, storing energy that powers the movement. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may need to be manually wound or set before use.
What strap size is compatible with this watch?
The PT1216 USMC Automatic has a 22mm lug width, which is a very common and widely available size. You can easily swap the included rubber strap for any standard 22mm replacement strap of your choice.
Is this watch officially licensed by the USMC?
ProTek produces watches honoring the USMC with the embossed logo on the caseback. For specific licensing details or official endorsement questions, please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll be happy to help.
