About This Piece
Special features:
  • Reminiscent of the elegance and sobriety of the historic pen of the Thirties – an authentic legend in its time – the new Optima maintains its unique line and all of its charm to become, once again, a cult object for men and women who know how to choose.
  • The resin version of the Optima range offers a more traditional style and has hand-finished trims and great attention down to the smallest detail.
  • The cap and barrel is made of black resin, and trims and clip are made of gold.
  • This fountain pen uses the classic filler pump filling system with the Aurora exclusive hidden reservoir device. When you run out of ink, just turn the end of the pen anticlockwise and your Aurora will write another page. Additionally, you can leave the end turned to remind you to fill the pen.

Love this pen…this is my second

Wonderful and elegant pen: great balance and feel, easy to fill and with warning reserve. I have broad nib (again) and really like it. My first one ceased closing properly after almost 40 years.

L’un des meilleurs stylos contemporains

Ce stylo confirme la réputation de la marque Aurora. Le plume est parfaite, elle ne gratte pas. Le débit du conduit en ébonite peut être facilement ajusté. Noter que la plume F est vraiment très fine.
Iguana Sell a été très prompt à expédier le colis, solidement emballé.

Bon rapport qualité-prix

Bon rapport qualité-prix, surtout pour cette version de base de l'Optima, j'ai néanmoins dû légèrement reprendre au micromesh 15000 la plume italique pour qu'il écrive sans raté.
