Perfecting perfection-our legendary classic evolved, updated, thoroughly of the moment. The enlarged barrel and single-band cap transition respect the original lines of its predecessor, the Classic Century. It even adopts the Classic Century's famous conical top. However, the Century II stands alone with its popular medium-diameter design

Customer Reviews

man learns to write
My work demands a lot of interpersonal contact, face-to-face, over-the-phone, and written. Recently I have moved the more intimate of these communications off the electronic impersonality of email and onto quality stationery. At the same time, I've bought two fountain pens, my first ever, combining this black Cross Century II with its silver-and-gold twin. One stays at the office and one by my writing desk here at home.

In the mix, I find that I'm discovering a new art form and means of personal expression. Always an illegible writer, the stationery and the fine pen slow me down just enough to realize that I actually *can* write.

It is difficult to overestimate the potency of a hand-written note in the Age of Email. It is a bit of chosen retro-referencing upon which the recipients of my letters comment with appreciation. And it doesn't take *that* much time.

The Cross Century II can be considered near the top of the entry-level pens. I chose them because of good experience with Cross ballpoints, not wanting to spend too much until I figured out whether this was going to work, and my routinely bad experience with base-entry-level products.

I believe this pen is likely to serve me for years to come. As I learn the beauty of a fine or solid stroke, however, I also widen my peripheral vision and discover there's a high-end pen store at my local shopping center.

Uh-oh.

Very nice pen
I loved the pen with but two reservations.

(1) I wish it also came in a FINE nib, the medium ink flows like silk, but it's a bit thicker than I prefer.

(2) Foolishly I leaned over the side of a boat with the pen.... bloooop.... This pen doesn't float very well. Unfortunately it's hard to list that as a defect worthy of replacement by cross.

This pen is worth WAY more than it's listed for

A Writer's Delight!
My newly purchased Cross Century II Black Fountain Pen is a superb writing instrument. I love to write (by hand more than computer) and the Cross Century II Black Fountain Pen exceeded my expectations. If you truly enjoy "Old Timey" writing, buy one and really enjoy the art of writing. James Taylor
