Just as grand opera has inspired its audience for centuries, the exclusive Waterman Opera Collection captivates today. The elegant, tapered shape of the Expert and the deep black lacquer on the barrel perfectly complement the exquisite, gold-plated cap and Heritage engraving in the style of the ornate designs of opera. The gold-coated stainless steel nib of the fountain pen features the classic intertwined W-Waterman design and, along with the distinctive gold-plated clip with two notches, highlights the refined elegance of the writing instrument. Each writing instrument is carefully handcrafted and assembled in France with Waterman's Gallic "Savoir-faire." The elegant, tapering silhouette of the Expert and the intense black lacquer of its barrel perfectly enhance the luxurious gold-plated embellishments and the intricately detailed cap. The exquisite, gold-plated cap with its elaborately engraved traditional pattern evokes the timeless beauty and artistic fidelity of opera.
