Pelikan M640 Sahara Fountain Pen - Special Edition 2007

Sand visible as far as the eye can see. Every individual grain of sand in the Sahara has a story to tell. It is the grounded time of mountainous massifs, seas, rivers or the ice age. With nine million square kilometers (circa 3.5 million square miles), the Sahara is the largest dry desert on the planet and stretches from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. It came into being three billion years ago and has been flooded at least eight times in the course of time. Even in this current day, dry riverbeds can be found in the landscape – a sign that water must have once flown there. However, only 10 % of the Sahara is a sandy desert.

The special edition “Sahara” is made of the finest materials. The focal point is the metal shaft with its sand-wave structure. The filigree elements are modeled by a sophisticated guilloche, are gilded and are provided with several coats of lacquer coating. They flow into the precious resin components of the front part and ink handle. The 18-carat gold nib with rhodium trim is formed masterly, polished and diligently run in by a master’s hand. The ball-point pen is fitted with a twist mechanism. The exclusive roller-ball also delivers the look of ink handwriting with its smooth, comfortable action.

The series "Sahara" has been released in the year 2007 and had a limited availability.
