The word Celluloid makes all fountain pen collectors or enthusiasts think of Omas.
Partly because as well as being valuable, the pens in their collection, even if dating from the 1930s, are still
beautiful thanks to the exclusive production technique conceived
by the founder to make this highly
hygroscopic material stable, guaranteeing long lasting shape and colour.
Partly because of the incredible range of colours he thought up to make each piece highly exclusive and extraordinarily elegant.
Similarly, the word faceted cannot but conjure up images of the company’s most representative model, a genuine icon of Italian style in the sector.
As a tribute to this inseparable duo, Omas has used the same production techniques to create an elusive set of seven fountain pens.
The Paragon, maximum expression of the 12-facet line in celluloid and in as many refined colours.

The signature three rings band are inlaid not only in the cap but also in the barrel and this detail make the pens unique and immediately recognizible as part of this exclusive Paragon Set.
Each pen in the set is numbered. Only 50 sets have been produced (and only 15 were available in the US).
The set comes in a custom blue lacquered wooden box with matching outer box and pillow.
Pens are bright, clean and unused: a spectacular set.
In the 1930’s, OMAS pens differed from other celluloid pens not only in terms of models and technical solutions but also in the incredible number of colours and designs.
This was undoubtedly linked to typically Italian artistic imagination.
Arco proved a cut above the rest and soon became a hallmark of the House.
Arco is not the name of a colour but of a design.
It denotes a refined composition of subtle shades blending into the basic colour at the front of the pen to form a narrow arc with a strikingly beautiful effect.
Production was suspended on account of the drastic shortage of the basic raw material caused by World War II and it was only in 1990 that production was resumed after much painstaking research began to bear fruit.
The celluloid is a very precious material that is obtained from wood and embodies all the qualities that make a perfect pen: bright look, light weight, robustness, pleasant feel and an extraordinary combination of colours.
Manufactured using the same methods of OMAS founder, Armando Simoni, a celluloid pen requires 365 days of production, each celluloid pen is a unique piece.
