- Professional correspondence and signing documents
- Gifts for occasions such as graduations, promotions, or celebrations
- Collectors of branded writing instruments seeking a classic design
When it may not be suitable
This fountain pen is supplied with no ink cartridges or converter, so users will need to purchase compatible cartridges or a converter separately before first use. Those who require a very fine or very broad line width should confirm the nib size (listed as fine in some offers) matches their preference, as nib options are not included with this single unit.
Key specifications
- Colour: Blue (glossy lacquer finish)
- Housing material: Stainless steel
- Nib material: Stainless steel (engraved with brand motif)
- Packaging: Single unit in branded gift box
- Ink supply: Accepts replaceable cartridges or converters (not included)
How to use
Install a compatible Waterman ink cartridge or a converter filled with bottled ink into the pen following the manufacturer’s instructions. After fitting the ink supply, recap briefly and allow the nib to draw ink by capillary action; if necessary, gently prime the nib by turning the converter or applying slight pressure to a cartridge. Write with a light, consistent hand and store capped when not in use to prevent drying. Clean the nib and feed periodically by flushing with fresh water if changing ink colours or after prolonged use.
What to consider before purchase
- Ink cartridges or converter are not included—verify compatibility and purchase separately
- Confirm nib width preference (e.g., fine) if line thickness is important
- Colour and finish are glossy blue lacquer with palladium-coated trim—consider suitability for intended use or as a gift
Usage recommendations
For consistent performance, use genuine or compatible cartridges recommended for Waterman pens or a high-quality converter with well-maintained bottled ink. Store the pen capped and clean the nib regularly to maintain smooth ink flow and prevent clogging.
