Waterman Pens
Finish is what separates one of these engraved Waterman pens from the next, so it helps to see them in order from understated to bold. Each is made in France and arrives gift boxed.
- Brushed stainless steel with chrome trim, a quiet satin metal in both ballpoint and rollerball.
- Brushed stainless steel with gold plated trim, the same steel with a warmer edge.
- Matte black, either as a lacquer or a coating over steel, with chrome or palladium trims.
- Gloss black lacquer with gold or chrome trims, the most formal look of the lot, including a fine black ink rollerball.
- Coloured lacquers in deep red, bright blue and satin comet red, finished with polished chrome.
A school business manager retiring after twenty years opens a box at her farewell assembly and finds a gloss black pen inside. Months later it sits beside her crossword every morning and comes out whenever she writes thank you cards. What she gets is a daily reminder of the people she worked with, in a pen that still looks like the day she unwrapped it.
Most custom Waterman pens can be engraved, showing gold on most black lacquer barrels and silver on brushed steel. Most can be printed too, and more choices sit in our pens range.
Frequently Asked
What are the barrels made of?
The barrels are brushed stainless steel, black or coloured lacquer, or polished chrome, and one style has a matte black coating over steel. One ballpoint also has a lacquered black brass cap, which gives it a little extra weight.
Is the gold on these real gold plating?
Yes, the gold trims are gold plated, listed at 23 karat on several styles. Other styles use palladium plated or chrome trims for a silver tone that sits neatly with brushed steel barrels.
Are engraved Waterman pens a good long service gift for staff?
Yes, each one is made in France and arrives in its own Waterman gift box, so it's ready to hand over at a milestone. Gloss black lacquer with gold trim gives the most formal look, and several styles include a three year international warranty.
Which ink colours and points are used in Waterman pens for corporate gifts?
Most ballpoints and rollerballs write in blue with a medium point. One rollerball uses a fine point in blue and another a fine point in black, and the ballpoint refill on some styles is replaceable.
