OMAS TOKYO BLACK - GOLD BB NIB

The Tokyo line of piston fillers was introduced by Omas in 1993. The model was designed by the famous industrial designer E. Sottsass who drew inspiration from Oriental minimalism to develop the project of the pen.

The clip is simple and  linear and the round shape at the top recalls the initial "O" from Omas.

The Tokyo was produced in colorful resin in a nice array of colors: viridian green, lychee nut green, blue Venezia, persimmon orange and classic black.

The nib was originally  gold plated steel, with a typical decoration, as the model was meant for a young  market and was not supposed to be too expensive. 

Gold nibs exist, too and are very rare and desirable.

In the range of colors of the Tokyo line, Persimmon orange and black are the rarest ones.

This Omas Tokyo in black is fitted with a gold BB nib and it is unused.
