Why choose the 14K nib?

A gold nib offers a softer, more cushioned feel on the page than steel, and many writers find it more responsive over long sessions. Paired with the Aero’s substantial body, it makes a superb daily writer and a pen to treasure.

Black Forest finish

The dark brown wood-grain pattern is hydro-dipped onto the aluminium, so every pen carries its own unique grain. Matte black trim keeps the look calm and contemporary.

An icon of German design

The Aero’s ribbed silhouette was inspired by early twentieth-century Zeppelins. It has become one of Diplomat’s signature designs, admired for its bold shape and comfortable grip.
