The
OMAS
T2 collection was released in 2000 and are now extremely sought-after.
Omas made the T2 for the year 2000 in two versions. There was the old Paragon size T2, a limited edition that had gold trim and an engraved 18k gold nib with the 75
th
anniversary logo. Then there was a smaller T2 in the old Milord size
(here up for sale)
with HT trim and a real titanium nib.
Crafted from titanium, this really is a striking writing instrument, with a wonderfully tactile finish. The trim is rhodium plated and offers a perfect contrast to the matte finish on the titanium.
The pen is a perfect mélange of tradition and modernity in my opinion.
The twelve sided titanium pen is an expression of contradictions: light, yet strong; small, yet elegant and well-balanced. Cut from solid pieces of titanium, the OMAS T2 is an achievement of modern industrial design.
The greek key design can be found both on the cap and grip section.
The cap is engraved with "Omas T2" on one facet, quite tastefully
.
Upon unscrewing the pen, a regular resin/plastic section is revealed, bearing an additional Greek key band at the upper end. The black section is quite pleasant to hold and accentuates the matte grayness of the titanium nicely.
The consistent matte surface is unlike any other metal. The nib is solid titanium as well and is
carefully engraved with "T2," surrounded by a delicate circle
.
This unusual nib has a surprising amount of flexibility, exhibiting line width variation depending on the pressure applied to the point.
The concerned pen has previously been gently used. It shows minor handling micro-scratches.
It comes together with matching booklet / guarantee (blank), Omas T2 display box, outer box (worn)
A fine piece that isn't common and is becoming more desirable following OMAS' unfortunate close.
This is from original OMAS,
not one of the several reissues or custom pens that appeared later. Collector's item.
