410 Park Ave.

Elegance, luxury, prestige, exclusivity and a passion for excellence – key ingredients to every roadgoing Maserati since the days of the 3500 GT. Take all those, add in the finest materials and hand-made craftsmanship and it is no surprise the Quattroporte and GranTurismo are in such demand. And now all those values are evident in the limited edition ‘Omas for Maserati’ fountain pen and rollerball.

Each pen is created from 925‰ silver, and has been designed as a clever interpretation of the elegance and sportiness of Maserati, while incorporating the craftsmanship and exclusive stylistic details of Omas pens. The top of the cap is decorated with a tiny yet beautifully detailed representation of the Maserati front grille. The clip flows away from the top, giving the impression that the experts at Omas spent as much time in the wind-tunnel as the designers at Maserati; and on each side of the cap, Omas has skilfully engraved the three iconic ports found on the front fenders of the GranTurismo and Quattroporte.

Remove the cap, and the nib holder is engraved with the classic oval, containing both the Maserati name and the famous Trident logo. The nib of the fountain pen is made from 18K rhodium-plated gold, and bears the Omas name. Each pen comes in a handsome case – in Maserati blue, naturally; the interior of the lid bears the classic Maserati front grille, and the case also holds the collector’s booklet.

The two companies share more than their passion for excellence; both Maserati and Omas were founded in the Italian city of Bologna, and both take their names from their founders – Omas stands for ‘Officine Meccanico Armando Simoni’. The collaboration between the two iconic firms has produced these objects of desire – describing them as mere ‘pens’ is akin to describing the superlative GranTurismo S as ‘transport’. Only 1,200 examples of the fountain pen will be produced – combining that figure with the 714 rollerballs results in 1914, the year that the Maserati company was founded. Prices for the pens range from $2,750 for the rollerball to $2,950 for the fountain pen.

These superb writing instruments are currently on display at the Maserati showroom at 410 Park Avenue in Manhattan, together with a wide selection of other Maserati accessories.
