Aurora 88 Black-Chrome 810-C Fountain Pen

Aurora 88 Ottantotto 810-C fountain pen

The Italian writing pens brand Aurora revives glorious past times with the launch of a magnificent collection inspired by its legendary model 88, a pen created in 1952 by the prestigious industrial designer Marcello Nizzoli with the idea of ​​unseating the no less famous Parker 51 and carve out an important niche in the complex post-war market by resorting to the formal refinement of Italian design and technological innovation.

With its slender body made of high-quality black resin and its elegant cap made of the same material, the Ottantotto 810-C fountain pen is a worthy heir to its renowned predecessor. Its delicate surface is visually enlivened with chrome ornamental motifs, among which its eye-catching clip and the exquisite decorative band with the brand's name that runs along the end of its cap stand out.

The loading system chosen is the ink cartridge, which can, however, be easily transformed into a plunger, for those who prefer refilling through an inkwell, with the Aurora Converter 158-C (not included).

As for its splendid nib, it is made of rhodium-plated solid 14-carat gold and, with the intention of satisfying the most varied tastes, along with the most common thicknesses —EF, F, M, B and BB—, it is available to the public in special options such as italic or stub.

A “small size” with greatness of spirit that will not go unnoticed by expert eyes.
