Diplomat Excellence A Plus Wave Guilloche Lapis Black Fountain Pen Medium

Design & Aesthetic
Crafted with precision, this pen features an all-metal body overlaid with a multi-layered matte-black lacquer and adorned with a striking wave-pattern guilloché finish, reminiscent of desert ripples. The raised, tactile texture interacts beautifully with light, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. Equipped with a spring-loaded solid-metal clip featuring a subtle floral emblem, it seamlessly balances elegance and grip security.

Mechanics & Handling
The cap system is designed for effortless use—a short ¼ to ??turn screw-on mechanism ensures silent and swift opening and closing. Despite its robust metal construction (approximately 46?g total weight), the pen remains well-balanced and comfortable in the hand, whether posted or unposted.

Nib & Filling Options
You can choose between a polished stainless-steel nib or a 14?carat bi?colour gold nib, available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, or Broad widths. The pen accommodates both standard international ink cartridges and a converter (included in certain sets), offering flexibility for cartridge or bottled ink use.

User Impressions

• The way the stripes catch the light when you're writing… it's just mesmerising.

• The shiny wave pattern caught my eye… writes just as good or better than some of my gold nib pens out of the box… feels well made.

• The metallic wave pattern feels almost imperceptibly elevated.
