Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball Pen Stealth Lacquer Midnight Purple

Description:

As Retro 51 puts it, 'Life is too short to carry an ugly pen'. And we agree. Their bright colours and cool designs have more than a hint of nostalgia about them, and all their pens are made with good old-fashioned values in mind.

The Tornado Stealth is a retractable rollerball which features a lacquer-coated barrel. There is a knurled twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip, and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied in a sleek cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.

This Stealth almost lives up to its name: it's Midnight Purple, so a very dark purple, the sort of colour the sky is when the sun has been down for a while. The trim and clip are black, though, and if you put it down on a black table in a darkened room, you might not be able to find it. So don't put it down.
