The Montblanc StarWalker Midnight Black collection is defined by their ergonomic and futuristic shape, and the ingenious use of original materials. The Montblanc StarWalker Midnight Black stands out from other designs with their unique monochrome appearance. The dark grey colour of the instrument guarantees elegant appearance of these writing instruments. Even the 14K gold nib has been coated with ruthenium, a rare transition metal of the platinum group, giving enhancing the sleek contemporary design of the StarWalker.
Only the floating Montblanc emblem in transparent cap top breaks with the monochrome theme of the writing instrument. The presence of the Montblanc emblem is a reminder that every instrument has been individually made by a craftsman who has imbued it with a soul.
