From 1930 to 2018 – Extra Goes Modern. Since its inception, the Extra 1930 has employed celluloid in its cap and barrel construction. In the modern world, some of the most exciting developments relate to alternative materials and fresh applications. Carbon fibre has changed the way designers consider everything from automobiles to audio equipment, while silicon ceramics and titanium have invigorated the watch industry. In recognition of the appeal – both visual and practical – of cutting-edge materials, Montegrappa is pleased to announce the Extra Hi Tech. A contemporary version of the classic Extra 1930 made with materials prized for their technological merit, the Extra Hi Tech features a dimpled cap and blind cap in solid aluminium. All trims, including the cap band, grip section, ring, thread and clip, with signature Montegrappa rolling ball end-piece, are fashioned from titanium. The barrel is formed of carbon fibre. The final item exudes a sense of utter modernity. Owing to the nature of the chosen materials, the Extra Hi Tech offers a lighter weight than its siblings. It thus presents itself as the perfect writing tool for those who write for long periods, for whom any extra heft might be prohibitive. Once experienced, the sense of lightness and balance prove irresistible. All Montegrappa writing instruments are guaranteed against any manufacturing defect for 24 months from the date of purchase.
