One of the things that Monteverde does right is stand out
from the crowd. No matter what, you are
going to notice a Monteverde pen, whether it’s on a display shelf or in
someone’s hand. Taking a cue from the
colorful flags flown at boat races, the Regatta Sport line mixes carbon fiber
sections with either bright red or yellow, or a full carbon fiber design. Not content with just these color choices,
the Rose Gold Limited Edition was released.
Limited to just 999 pieces in Fountain, Rollerball or Ballpoint, these
are some eye-catching pens. Their
limited edition number is laser engraved into the lacquer finish over the top
most carbon fiber section.
The Fountain and Rollerball versions both come with magnetic
caps – no worry of cross threading, broken thread sections or stripped
threads. Even better, the magnet works while either capped or posted. The
Ballpoint has a smooth mechanism and is compatible with Parker style refills,
coming equipped with Monteverde’s own SoftRoll technology from the
factory. Each pen comes with a matching
numbered box, while the Fountain Pen also includes a converter and
cartridges. These pens are ready to use
and show off right out of the box.
Due to their limited supply, there are not many of these
pieces left. Do note – if you are
looking to use these pens, they are relatively thick-bodied. The Fountain and Rollerball pens have slimmer
sections under the cap, but the ballpoint is the same thickness throughout the
whole body. They all exhibit a good
weight, as Monteverde pens usually do, and they all provide a good grip – these
pens will not be slipping out of your fingers any time soon.
The Monteverde Limited Edition Regatta Rose Gold is a
collectible pen in any version. The
scarce supply and sharp looks add that much more to the desirability of this homage
to racing.
