Montegrappa 007 Special Issue Royal Blue: The Bond Legacy Continues

Following the success of its 007 Special Issue series, Montegrappa extends the line with Royal Blue, a new interpretation of its James Bond-themed writing instrument.

A New Chapter

Montegrappa returns to the James Bond universe, borrowing a couple of familiar motifs and combining clean lines and satin-finished surfaces with iconic details such as the rifled alloy insert housed inside the hollow-point cap, which recalls the famous gun-barrel sequence from the films. The edition retains the distinctive character of the original matte-black model launched in 2023, now finished in a superb shade of royal blue.

Precision Engineering Worthy of a Secret Agent

The 007 Special Issue Royal Blue combines brass, aluminium and steel in an industrial design with clean geometry, precisely machined components and satin-finished surfaces. To achieve the royal blue colour, Montegrappa employed a blue anodising treatment that transforms the aluminium surface without altering the underlying material.

The mix of materials and finishes is also nicely put together: a large portion of the barrel features finely machined aluminium knurling, while the remaining parts and the cap are satin-finished. The clip is made of machined brass.

An engraved 007 logo placed a few millimetres above the grip section and the iconic hollow-point cap top subtly nod to the world of James Bond. At 142 mm in length and 16.8 mm in diameter, the fountain pen weighs 55 g, just enough to make you feel like you can handle any task with the confidence of a secret agent. The rollerball is slightly heavier, at 60 g.

Ready for your Next Mission

To make it a true high-performance writing instrument, Montegrappa fitted the fountain pen with a 14k rhodium-plated gold nib, decorated with the 007 emblem and available in five widths: extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, and 1.1 mm Stub. The fountain pen uses a cartridge/converter filling system.

Each writing instrument comes in an embossed, zipped faux-leather case accompanied by a notebook. After all, some things must be kept secret.

The Royal Blue joins Montegrappa's wider 007 Special Issue series as an Open Edition, continuing the collection's tribute to James Bond through its industrial design, mechanical construction and details inspired by the films.
