Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this delightful Omas 360 Mezzo Iceberg White HT Trim Fountain Pen, which comes with its OMAS pen sleeve and an izods presentation box. The pen has been regularly, but carefully used over the years, and is presented in lovely condition.
OMAS require no introduction and since their sad demise in January 2016, the hunger from fans and collectors for great examples of their writing instruments has increased dramatically! The company was founded by Armando Simoni and the full name was Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni, abbreviated to OMAS.
The 360 was arguably their most recognisable pens, with its dramatic triangular design. This is the Mezzo version, which is slightly shorter at approximately 5 1/2 inches when capped.
The cap and barrel are crafted from ‘iceberg’ white cotton resin, with the trims being rhodium-plated.
The pen is cartridge only and it features a clever mechanism, where you unscrew the end of the barrel to reveal the cartridge cage. It’s fitted with an 18k fine nib.
The important details are as follows…
Condition: Lovely
Box: izods
Nib: Fine
With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
