Caran D'ache Ecridor Type 55 Ballpoint Pen Silver & Rhodium

The hexagonal shape and slender lines of the Ecridor Type 55 are enhanced by the brilliance of its silver-plated, rhodium-coated body. Its decoration is based on the highly distinctive air intakes or "gills" of the 1967 Mustang. Just as the chrome surfaces of a car catch and hold the light, this decoration plays with contrasts: between mat and gloss, and between different depths of engraving. The Type 55 contains a precision mechanism that ensures exceptionally comfortable handwriting, a retro clip, and a push-button mechanism for the ballpoint pen. It has a rhodium finish to maintain the sheen and brilliance of the pen over time. Lastly, the motif is a pair of 5s that gives the pen its name: Type 55. This is a "code name" referring to the car whose memory remains engraved on the spirit of several generations.
