Diplomat XO Fountain Pen - Leather Dark Red (Special Edition)
Drawing inspiration from the world of luxury cognacs, the name “XO” represents
Extra Old, a term reserved for the most refined and exceptional creations.
The pen’s cigar-inspired design with his clipless cap flowing seamlessly into the
barrel, encapsulates this spirit. The XO belongs in the realm of classic leather club
chairs, iconic designers, poker tables, and fine cigar lounges; a world where elegance reigns supreme.
The XO is a true collector’s item, limited to just 265 individually numbered pieces
worldwide. This deliberate exclusivity is inspired by numerology, where the numbers
2, 6, and 5 symbolize balance and harmony. Owning the XO means more than acquiring a pen; it’s writing a story as unique as its design.
The XO mixes the iconic materials of contemporary art: leather, metal, lacquer, and acrylic; this rare creation is a collector’s dream, designed for those who value exclusivity and artistry. This fountain pen features a leather-wrapped cap. It comes with a two-tone steel #6 JoWo nib. Also included is a standard international converter inside of the pen, and a 6 pack of Diplomat blue cartridges in the box.
