Originally introduced in the mid 2000's, Strata™ delighted the pen industry, with its slim design, reliability, and dynamic use of color. Each Strata™ is carefully machined to perfection before it is coated in high-quality metallic lacquer. Hand assembled with polished chrome accents and completed with a 3 tiered cap-top for a unique and stunning finish. The long, sweeping clip is easy to use and adorned with the famous Monteverde USA® mountains logo along the top, while the end of the cap-top displays the same logo encapsulated in black resin for contrast. The fountain pen has a screw-cap mechanisium protecting the nib. The twist-action of the ballpoint unveils the refill tip. Hand polished, the Strata™ collection is available in a selection of rich metallic sheens; Turquoise, Blue, Red, or glossy Black. Slim and sleek, this collection is ideal for travel or as a daily writer, fitting beautifully in agendas and organizers. The fountain pen's stainless steel nib is available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub sizes, and uses a threaded ink converter or ink cartridge (included). Fountain pen fills with standard international ink cartridges and ballpoint accepts P1 and P4 refills. Each Strata™ pen is housed in a newly designed slim gift box.
