ProTek USMC Titanium Field Watch Series 3100: Forged for Duty, Destined for Adventure

For the individual who demands unwavering reliability from their gear, and whose pursuits often lead them off the beaten path, the ProTek USMC Titanium Field Watch Series 3100 emerges as a steadfast companion. This isn’t just another timepiece vying for wrist space; it’s a purpose-built instrument, forged in the crucible of tactical necessity and now available via Kickstarter, ready to accompany you on every adventure, from the everyday to the extreme. ProTek, a brand rapidly gaining traction for its robust, tritium-illuminated watches, expands its official United States Marine Corps offerings with this new series, delivering what many are already calling “the best darn field watch on the market.”

ProTek has quickly established itself in the tactical and sport watch arena, and the Series 3100 USMC Titanium Field Watch solidifies their commitment to exceptional quality and functional design. Already entrusted with the Official Watch designation of the United States Marine Corps – a testament to their rigorous standards – ProTek now offers this latest series directly to the public, launching on Kickstarter at an unprecedented early-bird price point starting from just $295 for the first 50 backers – a remarkable value for a watch of this calibre, with a regular retail price slated for $550-$575.

The defining feature of any ProTek timepiece is its ProGlo tritium illumination system. Unlike conventional lume that requires charging from an external light source, ProGlo technology provides continuous, unwavering illumination for 25 years, ensuring time-at-a-glance visibility in any condition, from broad daylight to complete darkness. This is the very technology pioneered by ProTek’s Managing Partner, Barry Cohen, during his tenure with Luminox, and ProTek now refines and elevates this technology to new heights. The Series 3100 takes this commitment to visibility a step further, incorporating the largest tritium tubes on the market, creating a veritable light show on your wrist in low-light environments, with green lume on the hands and markers and a distinctive orange marker at 12 o’clock for instant orientation.

Beyond its luminous prowess, the Series 3100 prioritises lightweight durability and timeless design. Crafted from medical-grade titanium, the case weighs a mere 48 grams, making it virtually imperceptible on the wrist, yet incredibly robust. The clean, uncluttered dial design eschews fleeting trends in favour of classic, handsome aesthetics, ensuring it remains stylish and versatile, equally at home paired with outdoor gear or complementing more formal attire. A comfortable, waterproof Italian leather strap, supple from day one and designed to soften and mould to your wrist over time without becoming brittle, further enhances wearability and practicality.

Beneath the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating beats a dependable Japanese Miyota quartz movement, known for its accuracy and 4-year battery life. The stamped, embossed, screw-in titanium case back and push crown contribute to a robust 100-meter water resistance, ensuring the watch is ready for any environment, wet or dry. The ProTek USMC Titanium Field Watch Series 3100 is more than just a watch; it’s a testament to no-nonsense engineering, a reliable and stylish companion for those who demand the best, whether on duty, on adventure, or simply navigating the everyday.
