Aurora continues its journey through the solar system, this time taking inspiration from the planet Mars for its latest Stellar Collection limited edition fountain pen. The Aurora 888 Marte is the 3rd release in Aurora’s Stellar Collection after the well received Nebulosa and Sole.

The Marte is made entirely in-house, including the nib and ebonite feed. The cap and barrel are made from red Auroloide, while the cap’s finial, grip section, and piston knob are made from black resin. The metal trims are rose gold plated to match the nib.

Like all 88s, the 888 Marte features Aurora’s unique piston filler design with a secondary ink reserve. When the pen runs dry, extend the piston to access enough ink for several more pages of writing. The piston knob will remain extended, acting as a reminder to refill the pen while still allowing the cap to be posted.

Limited to 888 numbered pieces, the Aurora 888 Marte sports an 18K rose gold nib and arrives in an elegant, black lacquered wood box.

Nib Material: 18K Rose Gold

Filling Mechanism: Piston
