Classic Century Diamond Cut Satin Ball-Point Pen

This is a variation of the standard Cross pen which has been the standard for a really good pen for years. It is shiny in look and works as it should. A really great item for your shirt pocket.

Beautiful pen. Cross always makes quality products. Expensive but I like to treat myself every so often.

Cross pens are great. Lost my other one in a lake.

Update: 2024 I’ve had this pen for 8 years now and regularly return to it. I’ve used the Jetstream, Power Tank, Jotter, Acroball, Rotring, and Bic Cristal, among others, and while each has advantages, I often consciously return to my reliable Cross Classic Century in black and gold. Why? The slim profile fits my hand; it doesn’t rattle or make any noise at all (unlike many click pens); it looks professional yet with an understated not ostentatious style; and the refill is reliable. As to the refill, I’ve noticed an improvement over the last year. The newest Cross medium refills are slightly smaller at the plastic top section that screws into the pen, but still fit securely. The ink seems to have been improved. It isn’t Jetstream or Acroball level low-viscosity, but it is, IMHO, on par with the Parker Quinkflow. Overall a great improvement over past Cross refills. If you can swing the price (which remains admittedly annoyingly high), this pen and refill is a winner. Also, some reviews criticize the smooth section on the top part of the PVD models. That’s not a flaw, it’s designed that way to allow engraving, which otherwise couldn’t happen due to the texture on the rest of those models. _____________ I’ve had this pen for going on 5 years now and although I’ve not used it exclusively during that time, I have used it a fair amount and it’s held up well. The classic black is much easier to grip and write with than the chrome or gold models (more slippery polished surfaces). I’ve come to appreciate the screw in style refill and the pen writes well for long periods of time without straining my hand. I highly recommend!

A beautifully crafted slim Cross pen reflecting the usual Cross quality. Writes well and light in your hand

Can't go wrong with a Cross Pen. They write well and great value for the price. I've had Cross pens for 50 years and they always last (The last one I had for 15 years before losing it). Nice weight and size.

Exactly as shown in the pictures. The color is a very dark, deep gold, quite different from the regular gold tone of older 10k or 14k gold Cross pens. Check the photos carefully, because it is a much deeper tone, almost with a reddish hue.

These are the finest writing instruments.

Stylo fin, élégant, et surtout précis, j'entends par la que là mine ne bouge pas dans le corps du stylo, ce qui rend l'utilisation du stylo très agréable.

Me encanta la marca Cross. Es muy fino y pesa poco para llevar de viaje o en el día a día. Y tiene materiales resistentes

Ceux qui ont déjà écrit avec un stylo Cross savent qu'ils sont très agréables à utiliser et que l'écriture est très fluide. Ce modèle tout noir, plus sobre que les classiques, est bien un véritable Cross. C'est une très bonne affaire, vu son prix très inférieur aux classiques stylos de la marque.

Writes smoothly

The pen is not the quality item I was expecting. It’s light and feels ordinary. Disappointing.
