Retro 51 Big Shot Tornado Rollerball Pen - The Nautilus
Journey to undiscovered depths... with Retro51’s newest addition to the Literary Collection, The Nautilus. The mystery of the sea awaits with this new Big Shot Tornado™ Rollerball intricately designed after the legendary Nautilus submarine from Jules Verne’s timeless masterpiece 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. In the words of Captain Nemo, “The ocean is an immense desert where man is never alone, for he can feel life bustling all about him.”
That bustling life begins on the packaging tube, decorated with foil stamped graphics reminiscent of a vintage book cover. Excitement continues when you open the tube with a POP to reveal the metal pen inside.
Part of the esteemed Literary Collection, each Big Shot Tornado Rollerball is numbered on the top ring. Whether you’re a connoisseur of fine writing instruments or a devoted fan of Verne’s work, this pen is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Each pen comes loaded with a black rollerball refill that flows with a medium stroke.
Uses the Retro 1951 Tornado rollerball refill.
