Top highlights
Special features:
  • Reminiscent of the elegance and sobriety of the historic pen of the Thirties – an authentic legend in its time – the new Optima maintains its unique line and all of its charm to become, once again, a cult object for men and women who know how to choose.
  • The new Auroloide version of the Optima range has been created using antique materials and features hand-finished trims and great attention down to the smallest detail.
  • The cap and barrel in all versions are made of marbled Auroloide, an antique material, yet refined and prestigious.
  • This fountain pen uses the classic filler pump filling system with the Aurora exclusive hidden reservoir device. When you run out of ink, just turn the end of the pen anticlockwise and your Aurora will write another page. Additionally, you can leave the end turned to remind you to fill the pen.
  • The blue celluloid reminds us of a darkening sky as it shimmers and reflects light.

A beautiful pen.

Not only a very attractive writing instrument, but the Aurora Optima is also of the highest quality all around. It is comfortable to hold and writes like a dream.

Dear James,

Thank you for your feedback!

We are happy to know you are enjoying your new pen.

Hope to see you again one day:)

Kind regards,

Superb service- especially for those buying from the UK suffering post Brexit customs charges

Superb and fast service from Iguana Sell- as always. And the pen is fantastic!

For customers like me who live in post-Brexit Britain, one of the immediate drawbacks of the 2016 vote to leave the EU, is that importing from EU countries is now subject to high UK customs charges which can really increase the cost of buying in Europe. You can suddenly find unexpectedly high additional costs and, for me, that has reduced the amount I buy from EU suppliers dramatically.
Iguana have come up with the brilliant idea of covering UK customs charges and post covered, so that 'what you see on the screen is what you pay'. That makes the decision whether or not to pay much easier.
In future, Iguana will be my first choice for buying pens from Europe!

Aurora

Lovely pen which feels good to write with. The most difficult decision was whether to buy the blue or the green version!

Très déçue

Il est hélas impossible d'écrire de façon fluide avec ce stylo - très beau par ailleurs - doté d'une plume IT : il faut repasser sur les jambages sans arrêt.

Purchased as a Christmas gift. I will be delighted to review the pen in a few weeks

Quality and a pleasure

It’s wonderful quality and such a great pleasure to write with the Optima. I can pick it up after a “rest” for two days and it delivers straight away.

Aurora Optima

This is my everyday go to pen! It took a while for the nib to open up but now it glides smooth and firm. Robust and fashionable it does attract a lot of attention
