Barry Cohen, Founder of ProTek Watches, and SOFREP Managing Editor Guy D. McCardle join today's episode of SOFREP Radio. Wristwatches trace their origins back to World War I, serving as essential tools for soldiers in the trenches.   Over the decades, wristwatches have evolved in both materials and technology, yet their fundamental purpose remains unchanged—to provide a quick and convenient means of telling time.   Barry shares insights into the innovative technology featured in ProTek watches, such as tritium illumination for hands and hour markers—the same material used in gun sights. Unlike conventional lume, tritium requires no external light source and provides 100x brighter illumination.   ProTek is the designated official watch of the USMC, proudly showcasing the United States Marine Corps logo embossed on the caseback.   Explore the ProTek collection here: https://protekwatch.com/   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-club  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
