Omas Bologna is proud to present the second pen in the companyʼs relaunch.
Crafted from classic pearl grey celluloid material strictly adhering to the founderʼs principles, this premier writing instrument is matched with a unique nib in a combination that is beautiful to behold, sublime to use, and impossible to counterfeit.
In order to achieve this goal, during the late 1930s Armando Simioni created a unique alloy, Permanio (Patent 67849 granted 29 September 1943), which allowed for an extraordinary writing experience through the creation of an extra-flexible nib.
This masterpiece is issued in a limited and numbered edition:
