Retro 51 Tornado Elite Ballpoint Turquoise

As Retro 51 puts it, ‘Life is too short to carry an ugly pen’. And we agree. Their bright colours and cool designs have more than a hint of nostalgia about them, and all their pens are made with good old-fashioned values in mind.

The Tornado Elite is a smaller version of the standard Tornado. It’s a retractable ballpoint which features a turquoise lacquer-coated brass barrel and a knurled metal twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip. The slotted metal pocket clip is polished chrome. It’s supplied in a themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.

Dimensions: 90mm long, 8mm in diameter, weighs 14g.

Refill with Schmidt mini D1 ballpoint refills.
