TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR Sunset Yellow
TWSBI Diamond 580 Sunset Yellow Fountain Pen
The TWSBI Diamond 580 ARL Sunset Yellow is a transparent piston filler fountain pen, with the section, ring and cap matching in TWSBI’s latest colour release.
Sunset Yellow, as it has been named appears to be more of a warm bright gold than a yellow. However we don’t mind at all! The colour complements perfectly with TWSBI’s usual matte finish for a ALR design. It is definitely fitting for the summer months.
TWSBI create their pen designs by using traditional fountain pen mechanisms with a modern twist. Their goal is to bring life back into creating traditional fountain pens that can be used and appreciated even in modern day society, which there is no doubt they have successfully managed.
The Diamond 580 ARL comes with a small bottle of grease and a spanner to undo all detachable parts which is useful for a thorough clean, however a word of warning, they are very difficult to fit back together once taken apart..
