Description from the seller

- Body and cap in auroloid
- Gold adornments
- Screw-closure system
- Piston-fill with hidden reserve reservoir

A true legend of its time, this new Optima maintains its unique line.
The Auroloide version stands out for its hand-finished adornments and great attention to small details.
The cap and body are made of marbled auroloid.
This fountain pen features the traditional piston-fill mechanism with Aurora's exclusive reserve reservoir.
When the ink runs out, simply twist the base counterclockwise and the hidden reservoir will supply ink to write, approximately one more page. The base of the pen can be left turned as a reminder not to forget to refill the fountain pen.
