Omas Galileo Galilei Limited Edition Fountain Pen

Omas Galileo Galilei Limited Edition Fountain Pen

Omas developed positive relationships with Italian Universities, such as the University of Bologna and the University of Pisa, dedicating to them special and limited editions to celebrate their contribution to the world of science and culture.

The Omas Galileo Galilei limited edition is one of these special fountain pens that have been designed to evocate the important role of knowledge and science for our civilization. The model was introduced in 1993 to celebrate the 650th Anniversary of the University of Pisa.

The fountain pen is dedicated to Galileo Galilei,  whose scientific research and discoveries are deeply tied to the University of Pisa, where he was first a student and then, at the age of 25 only, started to teach.

The fountain pen is a facetted paragon in wild celluloid.

The contrast between black and white is replicated in the cap bands, where the central band is with HT finish, while the two tiny rings are gold filled. This color contrast symbolizes the mystery of the Universe, where darkness and light develop a constant contrast.

Finally, the number of pieces produced is 4692, which is the figure deriving from the multiplication by three of Galileo’s date of birth; three, because, Galileo’s telescope had a triple magnifying power.
