The Grey NATO Side Click Pen

Tactile Turn x The Grey NATO

The Crew Pen Number 1 (CPN1) is a special everyday take on your favorite pen with a few subtle markers pulled from the world of The Grey NATO. Produced in collaboration with Tactile Turn, makers of precision-machined pens from Texas, the CPN1 is built around the brand’s beloved Titanium Side Click platform and is designed to embody the same blend of durability, fuss-free readiness, and thoughtful detail that defines The Grey NATO’s ethos.

The CPN1 retains the rugged, bead-blasted titanium body of the Side Click series but features a unique custom camo pattern on the pocket clip, adapted directly from the packaging of CWC CWN1 LE watch project (a custom design from our friends at Stay Calm Industries). 

This is a pen made for enthusiasts of well-made tools — something you’d carry on assignment, at a dive site, or while journaling over a camp stove. Each detail reflects the podcast’s adventurous tone and the visual DNA of its previous collaboration with CWC Watches.

This subtle, razzle-dazzle-inspired camouflage offers a bright orange pattern over the titanium base of the pen’s screw-secured pocket clip. Further bright orange accents add a nod to the show’s love of both the color and its application in diving and adventuring. 

The Crew Pen Number 1 is conceived as a companion piece to the CWN1 (Crew Watch Number 1) collaboration with CWC. The CWN1 was built as an easy and useful companion for your next adventure, and the CPN1 is no different.
