OMAS the Paragon: Permanio

Crafted from classic Pearl Grey celluloid, Permanio reflects the principles upon which Armando Simoni founded OMAS: aesthetic beauty and technological perfection. The material is paired with an extraordinary nib, creating a combination that is beautiful to behold, expressive in use, and unmistakably OMAS. During the late 1930s, Armando Simoni developed a unique alloy capable of producing an exceptionally flexible nib and a more personal writing experience. Patented as Permanio on September 29, 1943 (Patent No. 67849), this innovation became another expression of his belief that technical achievement and the pleasure of writing should remain inseparable. OMAS Permanio is offered in a limited and individually numbered edition of just 143 fountain pens.
