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.

Specifications
All-Metal Construction
Machined entirely from Titanium and built using our popular Side Click mechanism, the CPN1 features a stonewashed, matte gray body with Cerakote and laser engraved finishes. The action is incredibly satisfying in both feel and sound that's durable enough to withstand a lifetime of use while still being good enough to pass on to future generations.
Custom Cerakote Finishing
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that's applied to the surface of our titanium pens. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch-resistant but not proof. Wear will show with time and use but, you know, using it is kind of the point.

This is my first “real” pen and I absolutely love it! Balanced is perfect, grip is fantastic! I’m very happy with it. And not to mention the TGN colors - very cool.

I will typically end up with buyers remorse after most purchases, not this pen! Well built, great mechanism!

Great pen, incredible feel in hand, and wonderful craftsmanship.

I’ve been on the fence for a while now, but partnering with TGN pushed me over. I’ve heard for years that the pens have an unmatched feel in the hand, and I can now confirm that. The choice of refill also adds to the experience. The only con for me is that I’ve wanted a bolt-action pen and not side-click, but after receiving this I have no reservations about adding a second to the collection.
- JOJeff O.Verified BuyerReviewingThe Grey NATO Side Click PenI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 days agoAwesome pen.
This is a fantastic pen. Only two very minor quibbles. 1. When replacing the refill the action of opening was gritty and needed a bit of cleanup. 2. When cleaning the threads the open end of the barrel cut me pretty good. Thankfully, I did not bleed too much on the pen. In all other was it is beautiful and is my EDC pen.
Thank you for such excellent products.
