About PROTEK
ProTek – The Name Defines Our Brand & Our Watches
Pro: For professionals at the top of their craft and others on their journey to the top. Those who put in the time, make countless sacrifices, and stop at nothing to pursue perfection. Nothing less is accepted.
Tek: For the innovative, self-powered Swiss illumination technology built into every watch. ProTek's Founder pioneered this special enabling feature with his former watch brand - Luminox, bringing this remarkable technology to the consumer arena. ProGlo™ illumination provides a non-stop continuous glow for up to 25 years, without a “charge” from an external light source, enabling the viewer to see and read time-at-a-glance, even in total darkness.
ProTek’s blend of professionalism and technology, incorporating elite performance and great styling, was inspired by the people that keep us safe on a daily basis – First Responders that include Law Enforcement, SWAT, Tactical, Military, Fire Fighters and more. People working in these fields, including those in the Marine Corps and other branches of the US military, appreciate the unique combination of performance features that ProTek watches provide. Whether you're searching for tactical watches, tactical tritium watches, or USMC watches, ProTek offers the rugged reliability required by these demanding professions. At the same time, our tritium watches are designed to suit anyone looking for a rugged daily-wear timepiece, including divers watch enthusiasts, that can stand up to what life throws at you.
At the helm is Barry Cohen – Founder/Former Owner of Luminox, the brand that supplied the Navy SEALS. Cohen spent 27 years at Luminox, and is credited with bringing this superior self-powered illumination technology in watches to consumers, after having been primarily a military technology until the advent of Luminox. He departed a few years ago to pursue work full-time at his other watch company, Time Concepts, the parent of ProTek and several other watch brands. At Luminox, Cohen helped jumpstart the tactical watch category with near-indestructible watches known for their self-powered tritium lume. It’s that same commitment to durability and practicality that drove Cohen to create ProTek, but with the aim to up the game with higher quality and better features, such that he now refers to ProTek as a no-excuses, no-compromises brand.
Official Watch Brand of the United States Marine Corps
Following a thorough assessment of their durability, accuracy, and quality, The United States Marines recently designated ProTek watches as an Official Watch of the United States Marine Corps. Obviously, ProTek is proud of this affiliation and its USMC Collection.
