The Cross Calais Ballpoint Pen in matte midnight blue combines sleek design with reliable performance. This twist-action ballpoint features a medium-sized barrel crafted from lacquered brass, offering a satisfying weight and balance in hand. The matte metallic finish resists fingerprints while providing a subtle, professional appearance suitable for diverse work environments.
At its core, the Calais utilizes Cross's proprietary ballpoint mechanism, delivering smooth ink flow with minimal pressure required. The black ink writes crisp lines on most paper types without bleeding or feathering. A precision-engineered tip ensures consistent performance, whether you're quickly jotting notes or signing important documents. The pen accepts standard Cross ballpoint refills, making replacements convenient and affordable.
Each Cross pen arrives ready for gifting in a premium presentation box. Dayspring Pens offers optional deep-cut, silver-filled engraving below the clip, adding a personal touch that stands out against the midnight blue finish. Backed by Cross's lifetime mechanical warranty, the Calais provides peace of mind for long-term use. Its versatile design makes it an excellent choice for graduations, promotions, or as a thoughtful corporate gift.
