Tradition. Craft. Excellence.

Handmade in Germany and steeped in Diplomat’s tradition of precision, the Excellence A2 Black Lacquer Fountain Pen stands as the brand’s flagship writing instrument. Its full-metal body carries a deep black lacquer finish accented with elegant gold trim, striking a timeless balance of strength and refinement.

At its heart lies a JoWo #6 stainless steel nib, designed to deliver smooth, reliable performance across the page. The larger silhouette gives the pen a commanding presence, while the improved cap closure system ensures a secure seal, protecting the nib and preventing ink from drying out. The sliding click cap posts securely, complemented by a spring-loaded metal clip that attaches firmly to notebooks or pockets.

Each fountain pen includes a Diplomat converter for bottled ink and two sample cartridges (blue and black), offering both tradition and convenience straight from the box.

The Excellence A2 is more than a pen – it is a testament to Diplomat’s craftsmanship, built for those who see a writing instrument of true durability, style, and heritage.

Together, the Excellence A2 Black Lacquer Fountain Pen and Rollerball create a set of true distinction – one that balances the heritage of traditional handwriting with the ease of modern expression. Owning both ensures you ar prepared for every occasion, whether signing with the refinement of a fountain pen or writing swiftly with the fluid convenience of a rollerball. A pair that embodies durability, elegance, and timeless value, the set reflects the essence of Diplomat’s craftsmanship at its finest.
