Omas “Emotica” Fountain Pen in high gloss Carmine Red Resin and polished Chromium trim. This is the second color (out of three) that was part of this very short run series of fountain pens. The fountain pen features an asymmetrical cap and an unusual hinged pocket clip which provides a bipod feature that allows the pen to stand on a desk either horizontally or vertically. Another distinctive feature of this pen is the very large and flexible Omas titanium nib (fine point) that makes for expressive writing. This stunning instrument measures 6.50 inches with the cap posted and is in near mint condition and has never been inked. The fountain pen comes with its original Omas ink converter but without boxes or papers. the packaging is damaged

Armando Simoni was often heard to repeat “ fountain pen must make writing pleasurable”. If writing is the key to a man’s soul then OMAS designs speak about their creator. Simoni was an admirer of Greek culture and exalted his passion for classical studies in the creation of objects with a balanced design. Is not the famous twelve-sided Arte Italiana model reminiscent of a Doric column? This model is still produced today and has become a classic in the luxury fountain pen market. As well as aesthetic considerations, Armando Simoni had been interested in mechanics since he was a child.

By the age of 34 he had accumulated sufficient knowledge of the sector to found OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni). During the 1930s he designed the twelve-sided model and the other great success story of the pre-war years, the Doctor’s Pen fitted with a tiny clinical thermometer in the body of the fountain pen. Simoni’s love of technical challenges resulted in the endless creation of surprising models; from the fountain pen with two nibs to the series with the transparent ink holder to emphasize lucent beauty. These exclusive items demonstrate the creative force of their designer. He was nominated Cavaliere della Corona d’Italia – Knight of the Italian Crown- and thereafter acquired the moniker “il Cavaliere”.
