The barrel and cap are finished in a bright pink anodised aluminium, paired with a translucent blue grip section and a matching blue metal clip. It's a striking pen, but the construction underneath is the same reliable aluminium body LAMY has been making since the AL-star was introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium is a good material for a daily-use pen. It's lighter than brass or steel, resists dents better than plastic, and won't discolour with handling over time. The transparent grip section is more than decoration too. It lets you see the ink feed working as you write, which is a small detail, but one that fountain pen and rollerball enthusiasts tend to appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a rollerball, not a fountain pen, so there's no nib to worry about and no learning curve. Rollerball ink flows more freely than a ballpoint, giving you a smoother line with less pressure needed on the page. It comes fitted with a LAMY M63 refill in black, medium point (1.0 mm), which is the standard refill for this pen and easy to replace when it runs low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clip is worth mentioning on its own. LAMY uses a spring-loaded wire clip rather than a rigid one, so it opens wide enough to fit over a thick notebook cover or shirt pocket without bending out of shape. It's a small engineering choice that makes a real difference in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003eanodised aluminium body and cap, transparent plastic grip section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e pink body, blue grip and clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefill: \u003c\/strong\u003eLAMY M63, black ink, medium point (1.0 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength (capped): \u003c\/strong\u003eapproximately 140 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength (posted):\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 172 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel diameter: \u003c\/strong\u003eapproximately 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 20 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCap type:\u003c\/strong\u003e snap-on\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis is a special edition colourway, produced in limited numbers for a set period. Once current stock sells through, LAMY does not guarantee it will be reissued in the same colours.

If you'd prefer a different line width or ink colour down the track, M63 refills are available in fine and medium points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuits anyone who wants a well-made, lightweight rollerball with a bit of personality.
