This pen is extremely innovative for its design, its motions and its refill. The oval shape of the Clipper constitutes of two shells, coated with rubber varnish, in order to improve its ergonomics. The extraction and retraction of the tip is allowed by the simple motion of its small lateral wheel. The chromed band and clip, contrasting with the satin finished shells, complete the piece. The internal pressured refill allows writing upside down and underwater.
