The S.T. Dupont Olympio Industrial Design (Reference 480534) is a striking (special production model) fountain pen that showcases a bold, technical aesthetic inspired by the architecture of the Industrial Revolution. Part of Dupont's prestigious Olympio line (also known as the Orpheo in some markets), this model is renowned for its substantial weight and the distinct "click" of its cap—a sound engineered to mimic the famous opening of a Dupont lighter.

Design & Artistry

• Industrial Motif: The body is characterized by a high-tech, geometric pattern featuring vertical and horizontal guilloché lines, punctuated by recessed "rivet" details that evoke the look of steel girders and industrial plating.

• Material & Finish: The pen is crafted with a heavy brass base and finished in a sophisticated palladium plating, providing a brilliant, mirror-like silver sheen that is highly resistant to tarnishing.

• Signature Details: The clip features a sleek, spring-loaded design for durability, and the cap is adorned with the S.T. Dupont "D" logo on the crown, surrounded by a black lacquer ring.

Technical Features

• 18K Gold Nib: The 480534 is typically fitted with a rhodium-plated 18-karat solid gold nib, ensuring the nib's color matches the palladium body while providing the soft, flexible writing feel of gold.

• Filling System: It utilizes a versatile cartridge/converter system, allowing for the use of standard international ink cartridges or bottled ink via the included converter.

• Ergonomics: Despite its industrial look, the pen features a gently curved section and a well-balanced weight, making it comfortable for extended writing sessions.
