The LAMY dialog cc is a revolutionary fountain pen without a cap. Thanks to a fascinating twist mechanism the nib slides elegantly out of the interior of the barrel. The twist-action fountain pen is then ready to write. When the fountain pen is twisted closed, a ball valve automatically moves in front of the opening and protects the retracted nib from drying out and getting dirty. The dialog cc features a roll stop, in lieu of a clip, creating a minimalistic look. It is slightly shorter than the dialog 3, and features rose gold-plated trim. This matte dark blue lacquered fountain pen comes with a smooth interchangeable two-tone 14K rose gold nib. It comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge as well as a proprietary Z27 converter to get you started writing right away. It is set in a gift box with a leather pen slip.
