OMAS 360 Collection Red Fountain Pen (M/18K)

Thank you for viewing.

This item is an OMAS 360 Collection Red fountain pen with a medium (M) nib.
The nib is 18K gold with rhodium plating.

OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simony = Armando Simony Workshop) was founded in Bologna, Italy in 1925 and ceased operations in 2016. It was once considered one of the three major pen manufacturers in Italy, and after being under the umbrella of LMVH, it eventually went out of business.
This time, it will be revived by an American pen collector in September 2023, and sales will resume in Japan from November by Plico Co., Ltd.

The Omas 360, released in 1996, is often praised as a major design innovation for the brand, featuring an iconic triangular body and grip.
The large triangular shape fits comfortably in the hand, and the Italian-style Greca pattern trim (cap and neck) is delicately applied.
The pen uses a piston filling system, and ink can be drawn in by rotating the end of the barrel.
The nib is large and elongated. It has a luxurious feel.

There is some wear and tear on the body, but there are no problems with use.
It was purchased at Pen House in 2014.

This model was the flagship model of the brand before it went out of business. The burgundy color is recommended for both men and women.
