£270.00 excluding VAT - £225.00
The Visconti Opera Metal Monza Ballpoint Pen is a more modern (2015) twist on Visconti’s classic Opera fountain pen that originated in 2003 and used acrylics, resin or celluloids. The Opera Metal series is made of a type of aluminium known as “2017” or “Avional” which, as the latter name suggests, is often used in the aeronautics industry for parts that need to be lightweight, but will also be placed under a fair bit of stress. Avional is easy to form and makes a very nice pen body, which in this case features the unique Visconti “Squaring the Circle” cross-section – imagine a circle with four flattened sides (or an octagon in which every other face is rounded).
When open, placing the cap on the end of the pen makes a long writing instrument that feels solid in the hand.
The Opera Metal Ballpoint Pen comes in five different finishes: Silver Shadow, Speedboat, Monza, Roadster and Total Black.
- The Homo Sapiens, made with lava from Mount Etna, is one of the great pens of the early 21st century. It is a plunger filler – updating a system first developed in the 1920’s.

- Mid range pens use an effective and convenient magnetic closure system.

- Partnership with the Pininfarina design practice has led to some outstanding designs.
