In 1895, the renowned Italian scientist, Guglielmo Marconi, shaped history by discovering the radio wave. One hundred years later, in 1995, with the authorization of the Marconi Foundation, OMAS introduced the Guglielmo Marconi 100 anni di Radio collection in celebration of the discovery of the radio.
The Charcoal grey
Omas Marconi
is a very special limited edition of 154 pieces dedicated to the Carlo Alberto cruiser of the Italian Navy, the ship Guglielmo Marconi used for several experiments.
It was aimed at the Russian market (Russian Variant).
Fashined from dark grey vegetal resin this version was c
reated in 1995 to honor one hundred years of radio technology. The cap and body of this pen  is engraved with graduated grooves reflecting radio frequency signals. The clip is designed after a telephone key and the nib bears the official logo of the Marconi Foundation. This variant in charcoal gray and gold, was made for the Russian market.
Deemed as the father of radio by the famous Russian scientist, Alexander Stefanovic Popov, Marconi conduced many important experiments from the ship after the England-Russia treaty in 1902. After conducting the first experiments using a megnetic detector from the ship, Marconi has the honor of meeting the Czar of Russia.
On September 9th, 1902 Marconi received the first official radio transmission in history aboard the Carlo Alberto that covered 1540 kilometers between American and European continents, the specific event OMAS pays tribute to with this rare special limited edition Marconi.
The pen has not been used and is in excellent condition, complete with all boxes/booklets: o
uter box, wooden display box, matching papers/booklets. Piston filling.
The presentation box is reminiscent of the wooden boxes in which the early electrical wireless instruments were housed.
