Dedicated to the most refined and demanding man, the Noir Collection reinterprets the dodecagonal Arte Italiana model, OMAS brand icon, through a play of contrasts which make it unique. The black Cotton Resin is embellished with a fine guilloche engraving characterized by a rice grain pattern, which emphasizes the classical nature of this model and highlights the modernity of the Black Ruthenium trim, a novelty in OMAS production. Classicism and modernity, past and future meld to a timeless object, handed down from one generation to the next always keeping its newness. In 2013 OMAS certifies the following pieces: 331 for piston filled fountain pen The Paragon model and converter/cartridge fountain pen, roller ball and ball point Milord models, 31 for mechanical pencil Milord model. www.omas.com 393 Jericho Turnpike - Mineola, NY 11501 - P 516.741.0011 - F 516.741.0125 - www.kenroindustries.com - contactus@kenroindustries.com
The new DELTA forms an elegant triangle of classic design, superior quality and luxurious writing, an exceptional value in engraved .925 sterling silver. Fountain pen with rhodium plated steel nib: $200 ; Rollerball: $190 ; Ballpoint $180
