The LEUCHTTURM1917 Drehgriffel Nr. 1 Gel Pen in Black pairs a distinctive hexagonal silhouette with a smooth 0.5 mm gel refill, built for everyday writing that feels precise and substantial in hand.
The body is precision-milled from aluminium and brass, then varnished and sealed, with the tapered tip and twist mechanism finished in a colour that contrasts with the Black body. A spring-loaded twist opens and closes the mechanism to advance or retract the tip. The pen ships with a document-proof black gel ink refill using a ceramic ball bearing for smooth, even flow, and its twist mechanism and refill are made in Germany. The design has earned a Red Dot Design Award.

Yes. The body can be personalised with engraving, and the pen's design and packaging make it a popular gift for professionals, students, and pen collectors alike.
