A SERIOUS FOUNTAIN PEN
Omas Fountain Pens MARTE = $43,000
This is a limited edition pen commemorating man’s journeys to the planet Mars. There are just 30 of these fountain pens in circulation, so they are perfect for the pen collector to add to his expensive pen collections, or for the executive who enjoys writing with designer pens.
The Marte is actually a map of Mars made from classic rose gold to represent the pink-red hue of the planet. Deserts, mountains and craters all feature on the barrel of this pen and four rubies mark the landing points of the Russian and American probes. The cap is encrusted with 2K of small diamonds reminiscent of the polar ice caps and the clip details astronomer Tycho Brahe’s Mural Quadrant. Even the rose gold nib is engraved with a representation of the Greek God Mars! Presented in a wonderful Mars shaped box, this pen would make a perfect present for a serious pen collector.
