Retro 51 Tornado Pan American Clipper Ballpoint

Back in June, we announced the Retro 51 Pan Am Hawaii Poster Rollerball.  Retro 51 sure does seem to like themes of moving objects (i.e. cars, airplanes, and space ships). Not only that, Retro 51 has been on fire lately with introducing so many new pens to their line-up.  In addition to limited edition Poppers, they’ve also introduced new standard catalogue pens.  Now, we get to enjoy their newest – the Retro 51 Tornado Pan American Clipper Ballpoint.

First of all, this Retro 51 Tornado Pan American Clipper Ballpoint has some history behind it.  Taking flight for the first time on a journey from New York to London was the newest Pan American World Airways® jumbo jet.  Notably, the new wide-bodied aircraft took its first historic flight in January of 1970 and continued to revolutionize air travel. With its spacious interior and increased flight capacity, it helped lower air travel costs making it even more accessible.

Secondly, this new officially licensed rollerball pen by Retro51 has been designed after this historic plane. The jet has been reproduced on the metal pen by acid-etching rivets and panels.  Then they printed the planes graphics and finished with satin silver accents. The finial is adorned with the Pan Am logo. In addition, the top ring is engraved with a serial number to individualize your pen. Therefore, it’s still special and unique even though it’s not a limited edition.

Finally, each one is packaged in a Pan Am graphic tube that doubles as a pen stand or carrying case when not in use.  Enjoy smooth twist-action retraction on this capless rollerball.  You can easily refill your Retro 51 Tornado with either a Monteverde Parker Style ballpoint or gel refill, a Schmidt EZ Flow refill, or a Schmidt Short Capless rollerball refill.  Book your Pan Am® Retro Clipper today and take flight in the lap of luxury.
