OMAS pens are renowned for their extraordinary balance, refined elegance and surprising tactility.
These features are possible thanks to the use of natural materials which are difficult to process such as cotton resin, celluloid, wood, titanium, gold and silver. Processing of these materials ensures high quality products aimed at genuine collectors and enthusiasts.
Cotton resin, a vegetal substance, is warm, soft and pleasing to the touch. The surface is immensely shiny enabling very high definition of the colours used. The shades of colour selected are researched, created and tested in OMAS workshops.
Produced from cellulose treated with camphor in an ether solution, celluloid is a material encompassing all the qualities needed to make a perfect fountain pen: light, resilient, sturdy, shiny and pleasing to the touch. These features are then combined with the extraordinary colour combinations offered by celluloid. The processing stages are long and complicated meaning that the production cycle for an OMAS celluloid pen is longer than 100 days.
After years of research and development OMAS unveiled its first titanium models in 2000, having created a perfect union between tradition and modern technology. The intense grey colour and soft velvet-like feel are the most striking features of OMAS titanium pens, the very latest novelty in the manufacture of fountain pens. Produced using a single block of titanium, the pens are available in the Arte Italiana and 360 models.
Gold and silver, symbols of wealth and power since time immemorial, are ideal for complex and sophisticated processing thanks to their intrinsic features. Both of these metals are widely used by OMAS to create pens that are unique pieces of jewelry as much as writing instruments.
OMAS also manufactures pens adorned with diamonds and precious stones to enhance the glint of gold, silver and platinum. Rhodium, vermeil and prestigious woods such as ebony, snakewood and Indian palm are also used to further complement these precious metals. |
