Cross Calais Ballpoint Pen - Matte Metallic Midnight Blue

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.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 29 reviews.

My pens look amazing and feel great to use. I had them engraved with my name and they did an amazing job. The customer service is well above and beyond top notch. This is my go to place for pens and the like!

Quick easy selection, priced right, delivered quickly!

The pen is great.

Looks great and writes great! Thank you for a quality product!

We use these pens as part of our years of service with our company recognition and our associates like having something that they can keep to remember the occasion.

11/10 experience the whole way. The order process was straightforward and seamless. When it came to delivery, yours truly here typed in the wrong delivery address. Slightly panicked, I reached out to let Dayspring know that the pen was being returned. They were right on it, and when I offered to pay for the pen to be shipped again, they were totally not going to let me pay, even though it was my mistake. In fact, when they received the pen back, they not only turned it around the same day but also shipped it via priority USPS to ensure that it arrived on time for my daughter's wedding. The pen arrived exactly as planned, and my daughter is thrilled that she will be signing her marriage license with a special gift from her dad. It's not that it doesn't matter when everything goes well; it's what you do about it when it goes wrong, and the customer service here was exceptional. I thoroughly recommend them, and if I need pens in the future, you can be sure I'll be calling them again. Thank you, job extraordinarily well done!

I am happy + suggestion I am happy with the purchase and engraving. Spenser was most helpful. Thank you. Suggestion: It will be most helpful if the engraving message shows in Amazon order. I had to reorder directly after my initial purchase via Amazon. The Amazon invoice does not show the engraving message. I only saw the misspelling after I received my Amazon order.

Excellent... Excellent writing pen. Good feel. Item was shipped quickly in a very nice gift box.

Great Value

Great price and quality Good price and nice quality pen! Looks great and expensive!

Excellent quality!

Its a beautiful pen.... Its a beautiful pen. Very comfortable to use. The only thing I don't like is having to purchase Blue ink refills because you don't offer the option to purchase the pen with Blue ink

Good quality. Fast delivery.... Good quality. Fast delivery.

Great Value and Quality Feel. I have always enjoyed larger, heavier ballpoint pens. The European brands are priced out of sight. Your pens provided great value and a quality feel.

Perfect gift Beautiful rich color - very elegant. Script engraving was subtle but readable. Nicely packaged

Very nice quality pens

Beautifully done.,

Ordering is very easy along with the very reasonable cost. The company goes out of their way to be accommodating to your needs. The order came very quickly too.

The metallic midnight blue color with our company logo will make a great gift for our customers.

The product arrived early and was beautifully engraved. The packaging is very nice as well.

This is a great pen for a gift. My Nephew loved it for his 21 st birthday.

The cross pen did but meet my expectations. It is very fat and hard to write with.

It was given as a graduation gift and the recipient is happy. One thing though is I chose the script font based on the photo provided on the product page but the outcome is more cursive. Minor detail but please correct your reference photo for the fonts. Thank you!

Loved the personalized pens, 2 lines on the blue and platinum color Townsends. The color contrast was striking and makes the pen unique. Great investment.

Product looks awesome.

Very nice for a gift.

I purchased a gift for a very special person who was receiving a military promotion. Of course, I had it engraved and I left myself little time to get the gift to bring with me to this person. They got it to me faster than promised and it was beautiful, a really special gift to be able to give. The recipient love the gift, btw! I will think of Dayspring Pens again if and when a special situation such as this arrives. THANK YOU!!!!

I was looking for an old fashioned clock,but new.This one does it.

I love the way it feels when I write
