Un frumos set de la Omas, stilou cu piston Omas Extra si pixul aferent (marcat Stilo Fetti). Nu imi dau seama de legatura intre Omas si firma Stilo Fetti, dar e ok…ambele sunt italiene si Stillo Fetti e de prin 1898 si inca e activa. Poate textul de mai jos sa lamureasca aceasta legatura :). Aveti aici si un link spre povestea Stilo Fetti.

There are values ​​that arise with a company, inspirations that drive and guide it on its path, personality that, in addition to having the privilege of creating it, accompany it in its development with a trademark that goes far beyond beyond the brand.

This is the case with Armando Simoni and OMAS: an indispensable combination. “A pen has the pleasure of writing” he loved to repeat Armando Simoni. If writing detects the soul of a man, OMAS creations speak of their creator. Armando Simoni was a lover of Greek culture, a technician and artist at the same time and a great passionate in the writing world.

In 1925 he created in Bologna OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni).

In the 1930s, his extravaganza was expressed in the twelve-year line and in the other great success of the post-war period, the “Doctor’s Pen” with a small clinical thermometer hidden in the pen’s body. Stimulated by technical challenges, Armando Simoni creates amazing models such as the “Omas Extra 1931”, which with its very special nib, allows for three different types of writing, in the normal position it is flexible, rotated is rigid, shot is ball pen.

Known as Knight of the Crown of Italy, Armando Simoni becomes “the Knight”. The nobility of the founder also invests his company and the small workshop in Bologna soon becomes an internationally renowned company.

The values ​​of Armando Simoni are still present in the creation of OMAS, since 1925 the writing instruments are designed, crafted and crafted in the laboratory of Bologna. Each writing tool, the result of a multitude of delicate manual operations, enhances the characteristics of the “Made in Italy” style and represents a point of reference for Italian excellence.

Ambele piese sunt intr’o stare superba si au suporturile aferente, in stare excelenta. Singura chestiune ce ramane de facut este sa dau comanda de o placa de mahon, de marime potrivita, care sa contina cele doua piese, si in mijloc, loc de o calimara vintage :). Calimara e mai mult de efect, evident; stiloul este de tipul cu rezervor si piston, asa ca se incarca mai rar.

Mina de pix este similara cu tipul de rezerva pe care il am in stoc pentru Pelikan K355 de exemplu, dar si alte pixuri vintage. Dimensiunile sunt similare, din metal ambele, difera doar gulerul de retentie a arcului (la Schneider e tip fluture, pe cand la rezerva originala e tip disc), insa pozitia este identica.

Stiloul este aproape nefolosit. Pistonul este de pluta, in stare excelenta. Incarcarea se face prin rotirea taper-ului exact ca la un piston cu buton fix. A fost desfacut, dar inafara de gresare nu a fost nevoie sa fac nimic.

Stiloul a venit fara penita (asta e, nu poti avea chiar totul); dat fiind pretul de achizitie, a fost un fel de “nu cauta calul de dar…la penita”. Am instalat o penita BB de la Summit (mai veche decat stiloul), si face treaba buna, in asteptarea unei penite vintage de la Omas (neaparat flexibila). Am refacut gravurile de pe piese, in original auriu.
