The stylish Zeppelin pen by Streltsov P&A
Fine ballpoint pens as gifts can be considered a tradition of business etiquette and corporate culture.
The Zeppelin by Streltsov P&A is a small masterpiece of style, a distinctive men's accessory, and — don't be surprised — a "last resort" tool: a tactical pen. It stands out with its extravagant retro design inspired by steampunk, its indestructible titanium body, and its compact size (11 cm). Despite its miniature dimensions, it's remarkably comfortable to write with.
The renowned Russian creator of tactical pens, Dmitry Streltsov, is an enthusiast of the early aviation era — when every takeoff of a man-made flying machine was perceived as a miracle. The Zeppelin model is inspired by the most famous and most fortunate airship in history — the Graf Zeppelin. It crossed the Atlantic a hundred times, circumnavigated the globe, and carried thousands of passengers.
When closed, the pen echoes the silhouette of that legendary aircraft. Its titanium body is textured to resemble metal sheets with rivets — an essential feature of most 1920s aircraft skin. Notice how the yellow metal "rivets" beautifully accentuate the relief of the black body. They are complemented by a matching-color clip. Speaking of color — the black lacquered surface is not mere decoration; the metal is coated with a diamond-like DLC finish, which protects the titanium body from scratches and wear, while adding an extra layer of corrosion resistance.
The Zeppelin pen sits comfortably in the hand and can function as a Japanese palm self-defense tool — a yawara. The pointed end of the titanium body enhances the "Zeppelin's" tactical capabilities.
The Zeppelin by Streltsov P&A is a comfortable writing instrument, a stylish suit accessory, and a truly original gift.
The pen is equipped with a premium ballpoint refill from the renowned German brand Lamy, and comes with a designer black leather carrying case.
