Aurora Optima Rossa Fountain Pen Aurora presents its classic Optima model in a hot new Italian red – Optima Rossa. A superb rendition of an Aurora model popular in the 1930s, Optima is a stand out for its unmistakable retro style. The Optima Rossa features a unique Auroloide barrel (a material much like celluloid) in deep ruby red with glittering flakes of pearl that reflect and change colors, highlighted by the hand-polished chrome accents. Like all Aurora pens, the Optima Rossa is produced completely from tip to cap in Aurora’s factory in Turin, Italy. The Optima fountain pen has a solid 14K gold nib with your choice of regular or ITALIC point. Its ink window and piston-filler system with hidden reservoir ensure you’re never left speechless! Optimize your writing with the matching Optima Rossa capped rollerball and twist ball pen. Bottle fill only.
