New Omas Lucens Le Fountain Pen

[Bryant]

I was told recently that Omas will have a new Paragon Lucens coming out. Due out in May. Limited to 331 pens. Similar to the older Lucens. Basically A old Style Paragon shape, but with the other rings.

MSRP will be $1250 in the US.

Not a good pic, sorry, better pics to come next week.

Regards,

Bry

The old LE faceted pen was the Extra Lucens, while the round LE was the Lucens -- like the vintage pens on which they were based.

 

From the photo it appears this new Extra Lucens is more like the old LE Extra Lucens (with exception of the cap rings and black roller), and *not* like a Paragon. For there is no step in the barrel for the cap.

 

If the new Extra Lucens is like the old LE Extra Lucens then it will mirror the vintage senior sized Extra Lucens and hence be shorter than both a modern celluloid and resin Paragon.

That is a rather pretty celluloid (I guess it is celluloid...)

 

But I suppose this pen will be light as a feather... which would be very nice for many, but I can't write with those. Pity..
