Combining vintage Cross design elements with modern techniques, features and finishes, this special edition pencil marks the Cross 175th anniversary by bringing their past, present and future together as one. The distinctive ball clip and plated enamel bands showcased on each pencil were first introduced in the 1920s on the Cross Alwrite Collection and later in 1935 on the Cross Signet. A delicately engraved wave pattern runs across the barrel capturing the light as its moved, creating a distinctive and captivating writing instrument. Inspired by art deco style, the jet black and rose gold colourway further highlights the link to Cross’ design heritage. Utilising the iconic Classic Century profile, this distinctive mechanical pencil is completed with the exclusive 175 emblem set proudly into the end cap, symbolising Cross’s years of craftsmanship and innovation.
