Aurora 88 Gold-Black 801 Big Fountain Pen

Aurora 88 Gold-Black 801 Big

At the conclusion of World War II, the famous brand of writing pens Aurora tried to recover from the blows suffered during the war with the launch of new products that, with their careful design and the inclusion of the greatest technical advances of the time, face their powerful competitors. To do this, Aurora hired the services of Marcello Nizzoli, a prestigious industrial designer who had shown his great value in previous work for the typewriter manufacturer Olivetti. The fruit of this collaboration would be the creation of the Aurora 88 fountain pen, a true jewel of writing that, since its release on the market in 1952, would enjoy enormous success among the public and would end up becoming a milestone in the market.

The Italian company today recovers its legendary model with a fantastic collection that aims to become an example for its interesting combination of classic forms and technological innovation.

A good example of this statement is the Ottantotto 801 fountain pen, an excellent “big size” piece with a body and mouthpiece made of high-quality black resin and an impressive gold-plated cap with linear guilloché decoration, a narrow ornamental band with the name of signature and screw closure.

It has an integrated plunger loading system, ebonite feeder and a translucent window to control the ink level in the tank.

Its excellent nib is made of solid 14-karat gold and is available, along with the most common thicknesses —EF, F, M, B and BB—, in special options such as italic or stub, giving satisfaction, with this wide variety of possibilities, to the most diverse tastes and sensibilities.

In short, we are faced with a magnificent option for lovers of high-end, generously sized pens, who will undoubtedly enjoy their balanced weight and incredible performance.
