This fountain pen has a brown aluminum grip section, cap ring, and piston knob. The aluminum grip is enhanced with a subtle matte finish, with circular engravings in the grip and cap area. It comes with onyx black trim and a black steel nib, and is presented in a modern clear display case.
The TWSBI Diamond 580 AL R comes with a benchmark piston ink-filling mechanism and has all detachable parts. The clear demonstrator barrel allows you to see your ink color and remaining ink level.
The idea behind the TWSBI Diamond 580 was to go back to basics and capture the simplicity and elegance of traditional writing instruments. In recent years, the development and modernization of writing instruments has resulted in traditional writing instruments, such as fountain pens, falling into obscurity. It was TWSBI's goal to bring the past back to life by creating a traditional fountain pen that even modern day society can appreciate.
