Omas 360 Grey Pearl Celluloid Rollerball
I love Fountain Pens, but sometimes you do need a rollerball pen for certain daily task, if you are looking for something stylish and special look no further this pen is as cool as it gets.
Since the demise of Omas Pen company their pens have become rarer to find especially those made of Celluloid.
Celluloid is no longer made due to the flammable nature of the process of making them, but do not fret, in this state it is stable, it takes between 2 to 3 years from time they are made to when the material is cured enough to use for a pen.
Living the experience of handwriting as a personal enrichment, leaving behind a “sign”, to remember precise and pleasant feelings lived in different moments of our lives…
The 360 model, with its triangular shape, is extremely ergonomic, specifically studied to maximize the pleasure of writing and make the moment of writing unique and unrepeatable.
An extraordinary experience also thanks to the precious celluloid which is made of, warm and pleasant to the touch.
This Pen is new and will come in a plastic pen tube.
Armando Simoni was often heard to repeat “A pen must make writing pleasurable”. If writing is the key to a man’s soul then OMAS designs speak about their creator. Simoni was an admirer of Greek culture and exalted his passion for classical studies in the creation of objects with a balanced design. Is not the famous twelve-sided Arte Italiana model reminiscent of a Doric column? This model is still produced today and has become a classic in the luxury pen market. As well as aesthetic considerations, Armando Simoni had been interested in mechanics since he was a child.
By the age of 34 he had accumulated sufficient knowledge of the sector to found OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni). During the 1930s he designed the twelve-sided model and the other great success story of the pre-war years, the Doctor’s Pen fitted with a tiny clinical thermometer in the body of the pen. Simoni’s love of technical challenges resulted in the endless creation of surprising models; from the fountain pen with two nibs to the series with the transparent ink holder to emphasize lucent beauty. These exclusive items demonstrate the creative force of their designer. He was nominated Cavaliere della Corona d’Italia – Knight of the Italian Crown- and thereafter acquired the moniker “il Cavaliere”.
