The Lamy dialog cc is a metal fountain pen with a unique twist-action retractable nib, a successor to the original dialog 3. It features the same fully-retracting nib, extended by twisting the barrel half a turn and protected when closed with a secure ball valve. This model replaces the pocket clip with a simple, stylish rectangular roll-stop, and is slightly shorter than the dialog 3 with a subtly curved barrel end. The barrel boasts a dark matte blue finish, complemented by rose gold accents on the roll-stop and barrel end. The pen is equipped with Lamy's familiar bi-colour 14c gold nib. To extend the nib, twist the barrel clockwise, and to retract, twist anti-clockwise. Once the nib is fully retracted, the barrel can be unscrewed for refilling with bottled ink using a Z27 converter or Lamy ink cartridges (sold separately). Dimensions: 122mm long, extending to 140mm with the nib deployed. The pen is supplied with a pen sleeve and presented in an elegant gift case.
