The Pagoda Tactical 1 Charlie is a field-proven timepiece born from elite military heritage. Powered by a Swiss automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve, it’s engineered for precision, resilience, and clarity under pressure.
Its 43mm 316L stainless steel case features a satin and sandblasted finish, paired with a screw-down caseback engraved with the Pagoda insignia. The opalin brass dial is enhanced with Super-LumiNova® numerals and black-polished hands, ensuring optimal legibility in low-light conditions.
Protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, the Tactical 1 Charlie also includes a 120-position rotating bezel for tactical timing. Finished with a black FKM rubber strap and a GUN PVD stainless steel buckle, it’s water-resistant to 200m (660ft)—ready for any mission, any terrain.

Why Pagoda?
In 1972 after the Munich disaster, a response was needed to tackle terrorism. No unit in the world had such a force. The UK was the first country to form such a response and was such, the birth of special warfare as we know it today. This was called Pagoda. The Pagoda team then went on to train and form many of the well-known global specialist units still around today.
We are a veteran-owned watch company with its roots in Hereford, England. The founder spent 31 years serving in the British military, most of that time at the very tip of the spear.
Many military units have watches custom-made for them by well-known brands. Very few of these had a founder who had served extensively in the military.
We realised that, if we created watches as good as these, then we could also offer something unique, which the military holds in highest regard: authenticity.
