OMAS Bologna Burkina

This series of OMAS pens came out in 2005. The combination of the sterling section and celluloid body and cap puts this pen into a new level of design sophistication. At 5 5/8" long, capped, this series is approximately the same length as the full-size Paragon but the barrel diameter is almost 1/16" larger, giving the pen a more robust look and feel. The diameter of the section however is the same as all other Omas pens of this approximate size so there is no change in the way the pen fits and writes in the hand, preserving the excellent relationship between the flange at the end of the section and the fingers.

Notice the simple tapers of both the cap and barrel. The redesigned clip also bespeaks simplicity. Also notice the fit and finish of this pen. Once again OMAS excels at elegant, unencumbered design.
 

The Burkina nitrocellulose material is reminiscent of the most complex material designs of the 1930's, especially the Sheaffer's WASP Clipper of 1938. The Burkina, made of hand laid pieces of different colored resin, cut into a pattern of lights, darks and ambers, is the most innovative color to come along in a very long time. Also available in the 360 series, there is nothing else like it in the world of pens.
