NATO® “Dawn Patrol” Heat-Reveal 11oz Coffee Mug — Field-Ready Morning Scene
Meet the mug built for those who greet the day before it breaks. The NATO® “Dawn Patrol” Heat-Reveal Mug transforms from a matte, stealth-black exterior to a rugged illustrated scene the moment hot liquid hits. As the temperature rises, a high-contrast, monochromatic silhouette of a forward operating base comes to life — a pre-dawn military encampment with tactical tents, a lookout tower, and a vehicle profile set against a faint, rising horizon glow.
At the forefront stands an operative in silhouette, gripping a steaming mug — a quiet moment before mission tempo begins. Above the scene, the faint stencil-style text DAWN PATROL emerges, reinforcing the early-hour grit that defines the NATO® mindset.
Built from durable ceramic and finished for smooth, everyday use, this 11oz mug is as dependable as your first cup. Whether you’re at home, in the shop, or starting your own dawn patrol, it’s a reminder that every mission begins with a moment of focus.
