The Omas 360 Magnum is the largest pen within the 360 series and was introduced in 1996.
A unique triangular and beautifully designed fountain pen, made of black cotton resin and fitted with 18k-750 two-tone Medium (M) gold nib.
Decorated with a gold-plated Greek key trim around the collar of the nib section, cap, and its sleek long cap clip.
It is a very large pen measuring 16cm when capped and is nonetheless a very comfortable pen to use.
It is a piston filler (fully working order) and as you can imagine with a very large ink capacity.
The pen here offered for sale is in excellent pre-owned condition with very limited signs of time and use (see attached photos). No box and no papers.
Excerpts from Omas literature regarding the 360 model:
Introducing the OMAS 360 Collection: a revolutionary development in refining the pleasure of writing.
To create the ultimate writing instrument, the OMAS technical team collaborated with doctors, ergonomics specialists, and world-renowned Milano architect and designer Stefano Bini, perfecting their results through CADCAM technology.
ERGONOMICS •
When holding a pen, the fingers automatically form a triangulated grip.
Cylindrical pens shift with writing pressure, resulting in muscle fatigue and inconsistent ink flow.
The OMAS 360 Collection's equilateral triangle shape rests the pen on a fixed plane in the natural flat between thumb and forefinger, eliminating any need to tense the hand at all.
The oversize design guarantees total comfort for any writer's hand.
The engineered axis placement assures that the nib meets the paper at the optimum angle for maximum performance
ENGINEERING •
Proprietary materials complement the design.
A specially-developed mirror polish process brings out the depth of the OMAS vegetal resin "blued-black" hue, a rich blue submerged within black like a starless night sky reflected in still waters.
A new OMAS-developed alloy forms the extended curved clip, giving it an unbelievably smooth glide which leaves even the finest silk untouched
DESIGN •
The OMAS 18K gold nib and ebonite feeder has been enlarged and completed with a special spherical iridium tip for the smoothest writing ever.
The oversized barrel construction features increased ink capacity.
The turning knob for the piston-filling system is designed to always close in perfect alignment with the surface of the pen.
Even with so many innovations in a single piece, each pen is still entirely handerafted in the OMAS tradition.
