OMAS Icon Anniversary Set

When released last year, OMAS said this of this marvellous series of pens:-

“Exactly 90 years ago, on June 15, 1925, Armando Simoni founded in Bologna Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni.

Thus was made OMAS, workshop that would become in later years one of the most significant expressions of “made in Italy” and prestigious player of high-end writing instruments.
The set celebrating the 90th Anniversary dedicated to Historical OMAS’s Shapes, has been therefore made with the same passion of our Founder.
Created by hand entirely in celluloid, the set is composed by The Paragon Vintage piston filling fountain pens, designed by Armando Simoni in 1931,Ogiva model original designed in 1927 and 360 model created in 1996.
The set is realized whit historical celluloid Pearl Grey.

The Ogiva model with its 14K Gold nib in F Extra Flex The 360 Model with its 18K Gold M size, are decorated by the exclusive 90th Anniversary logo in two-tones And….
…The Paragon Vintage with a brand new nib: the 18K Gold nib in BBB size!

The exclusive Limited and Numbered 90 Sets are enriched, for the first time, by special engraving on the ring, placed to celebrate the nine decades of history.
Available in gold trim with even numbers (ours is number 10) , the “Anniversary Icon Set “ will be available from September 2015.
Perceived as a natural extension of our hand, the fountain pen manages more than any other writing instruments to give form to our thoughts with a personal touch, making mirroring in ourselves, in our intuitions as in our mistakes.

The fountain, by its nature, forces us to think more about what we write, so it makes us write better. Demands more time by ourselves and for ourselves…
The fountain pen is the ideal writing instrument to give life to our ideas, even drafts of an on-going project. For this reason OMAS offers 20 different nib sizes, so that everyone can find the writing style that best suits his personality. Therefore the handwriting becomes an experience to live that can enrich us, complementary to other methods of more modern writing styles.
The same experience that we want to share with all passionates of fountain pen.

For this reason today, after 90 years and despite the radical changes of the relationship between man and writing, the way we handmake writing instruments had always remained the same..”

Now that OMAS are no longer in existence, this unique series of pens is a wonderful reminder of the heritage that is lost.
