The mechanical pencil is also a high-quality instrument. It comes with an EasyFlow refill, which I feel is like a hybrid of the best parts of ballpoint and gel refills combined. Not to mention, it uses the standard Monteverde Parker Style ballpoint or gel refills that we love so much. That’s another advantage to having a longer pen – one-handed activation. The ballpoint uses a high quality twist-action retraction mechanism that is so fun to play with. Choose from a multitude of point sizes and ink colors to refill this pen with. Believe it or not, this still has options. It uses a standard Schmidt 888 or 5888 rollerball refill. The rollerball maintains the same cap closure and materials boasted on the aforementioned fountain pen. Then choose between extra fine, fine, medium, or broad. It also employs an international size cartridge/converter filling system. The fountain pen has a smooth friction –fit cap. I like knowing there isn’t any stripping of threads in this pen’s future. Even the inner threads of each mode are metal. This makes for easy, safe twirling in your hand in between note-taking or general jotting. Whichever mode of writing you choose, the Aero is well-balanced. When finally exposed, the turquoise really stands out. That’s what’s immediately visible in the shirt pocket. That’s particularly spectacular with the Diplomat Aero Turquoise Collection because the appointments are a stealthy matte black. It’s like your pen is hidden in the shirt pocket, with a fun surprise burst of color upon removal. I also like how the clip placement is affixed to the top of the cap. I love a nice, tight clip, and this keeps your pen secure no matter where you house it. Another great attribute is the insanely long clip featured on all four modes of writing. Speaking of its namesake, the Aero has smooth lines and a streamlined body, designed to look like the Zeppelin.Īvailable in fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint, and mechanical pencil, the Aero has something for everyone.
The symmetrical, aerodynamic shape of the ovular body is reminiscent of its namesake – the Aero. They’re unique, which means you don’t normally see them unless you’re with fellow pen collectors. And the anodized surface allows for color options that definitely stand out. What I like about this length is that it sits high enough in your hand, so the body of the pen is still visible. First, it’s a longer pen (maybe a centimeter shorter than the Montblanc 149). There are so many factors about the Aero that make this pen distinguishing from the rest. Several amazing colors later, they recently launched the Diplomat Aero Turquoise Collection. The color that really spring-boarded the Aero to stardom is the orange finish. Fast forward a few years, and Diplomat introduces a whole rainbow of color assortments to choose from. Not too lively and inspiring to say the least. Yet the colors and finishes made this pen remind me more of a Roman Colosseum with muted matte grey and brown options. Sure, the design was cool, new, different, and unique. When Diplomat first introduced the Aero collection, this wasn’t the first thought to enter my mind. You may ask, what is considered a pen that’s not “traditional” looking? The answer is: a modern, tech-y, metallic pen that doesn’t follow a typical cylindrical or faceted shape overall. Can you imagine owning a pen that is so distinct that you are instantly noticed in a crowded room? Whether it’s a coffee shop or a boardroom meeting, a traditional looking pen tends to go unnoticed.
