Waterman celebrated its120th anniversary of its founding in 2003, with the launch and distribution of a few commemorative models extending into 2004.

The anniversary was calculated from the creation of the brand in New York in 1883, when founder Lewis Edson Waterman developed the famous three-fissure feed system, designed to prevent ink leakage and officially patented in early 1884.

To mark this important milestone, Waterman released one of its most exclusive limited editions: the Waterman Edson 120th Anniversary Edition.

The pen is unused but it is offered without box. Nib grade is F
