The Cross Calais is a substantial-looking fountain pen: deliciously fat-barrelled and displaying the superior craftsmanship for which Cross are known. Inspired, like the Townsend, by Art Deco design the Calais is - despite its width - lightweight and sleek, with a crisp, clean look.

Finished in matt black with chrome accents. Dimensions: 130mm long, 138mm capped; barrel diameter 12mm tapering to 9mm, weighs 28g

Supplied with two Cross cartridges in black. Also takes the Cross screw-in converter, available separately. Presented in a smart giftbox.

All Cross instruments are guaranteed for life against mechanical failure.
