About the Nettuno Brand
The Italtian pen company Nettuno based their logo on a statue of Neptune in the city of Bologna Italy. The company is still strong today, now producing pens in the Maiora pen factory in idyllic Naples.Umberto Vecchietti and his friend Armando Simoni, founder of Omas, began making spare parts to repair imported fountain pens. He later moved to Via Manzoni in 1929 and setup a wholesale stationery business.
One of Nettuno's first fountain pens was the Nettuno a Serbatoio, a safety pen made from ebonite. Nettuno has always focused on innovative production techniques and materials. Each pen they make comes from the finest quality materials and workmanship.
The 1911 collection by Nettuno is a desire to revitalize this Italian pen company. Each pen is turned by hand from solid bars with distinctive metal trims that are gold or rhodium-plated. Each piece is a masterpiece that is truly worthy of the pen collector. View the selection of Nettuno pens and fall in love.
Nettuno 1911 — Brand FAQs
Who is Nettuno 1911 and what are they known for?
Nettuno 1911 is an Italian writing-instrument brand associated with classic Mediterranean styling, sculpted clips inspired by nautical motifs, and reliable everyday fountain pens with distinctive resin finishes.
What are Nettuno’s signature design elements?
Expect turned Italian resins with swirling patterns, metal trim, and nautical-inspired clips. Collections often feature harmonious color palettes and comfortable, gently tapered sections.
Which nibs do Nettuno 1911 pens use and how do they write?
Most current models use polished stainless-steel nibs (sizes typically EF–B, with occasional stubs). The feel is smooth and well-controlled for daily notes and journaling across common papers.
What filling system do Nettuno fountain pens use?
Most Nettuno fountain pens use a cartridge/converter system. You can fill from bottled ink with the converter or use compatible international-style cartridges (check your model’s specs).
Do Nettuno pens post and how is the balance in hand?
Many models can be used, posted or unposted. Balance tends to be comfortable for medium-length writing sessions; try both to find your preferred grip and style.
Are Nettuno 1911 pens durable for everyday carry?
Yes—turned resins and metal trims are designed for routine use. To keep the polish pristine, store the pen in a sleeve or case rather than loose with keys or coins.
How should I clean and maintain a Nettuno fountain pen?
Flush the nib and converter with cool water every 2–4 weeks or when changing inks. Avoid alcohol or hot water on pen parts. Let components dry before re-inking.
Which inks work best with Nettuno pens?
Most dye-based fountain pen inks pair well. If you prefer highly saturated or shimmering inks, clean more frequently to keep the flow consistent, especially with fine nibs.
Can I swap or upgrade the nib on a Nettuno 1911 pen?
Many models use screw-in steel nib units; compatibility varies by production run. Check your specific model’s details or consult the retailer before purchasing a replacement unit.
Are Nettuno pens good for left-handed writers and office paper?
Yes. Fine and Medium nibs offer clean lines and manageable dry times on standard paper. For smoother stocks, Medium or Broad will showcase shading and color better.
Do Nettuno 1911 pens make good gifts?
Absolutely—classic Italian styling, elegant resins, and presentation packaging make them strong choices for graduations, promotions, and special occasions.
Can I fly with a Nettuno fountain pen without leaks?
As with any fountain pen, fly with the reservoir full or empty and store nib-up. Open the pen slowly after landing to equalize pressure and minimize burping.
What warranty support do Nettuno pens include?
Nettuno 1911 pens include a manufacturer's warranty against defects (terms vary by region/model). Keep your receipt and contact the retailer or authorized service for assistance.
Which Nettuno 1911 should I choose as my first pen?
Everyday notes: a cartridge/converter model with a Fine or Medium nib. Showpiece writing: a richly patterned resin in Medium or Broad for expressive shading on fountain-pen-friendly paper.
What if my Nettuno pen hard-starts or skips?
Flush to remove residues, ensure the converter is seated firmly, and try a different ink. If issues persist, a basic nib alignment/tune by a professional usually resolves flow inconsistencies.

The Thalassa resin is gorgeous. Reminds me of a slightly raging sea under the moonlight. I have not written with it yet, but I do have another Nettuno and I am anticipating a similar writing experience.

Overall, a very nice pen. I wish the line on the Flex Fine was a little finer and a little more flexible. I should have just gone with an extra fine.

Beautiful pen with great details in silver throughout the pen. A little smaller than I thought. This pen will look great on your desk or in your pockets. Pen prefers laying on its side for immediate ink flow. Still it does well with archive ink.

Out of all the colors the green is the most beautiful. It reminds me of garden with lots of green ground cover. The heft is real, and the nib is beautiful. Its a lovely writer, and looks quite elegant.

I'm very I bought this pen, it's even more beautiful in person. There is a milky, translucent quality to the acrylic which I find appealing, as does its palladium trim. Notable difference to my first Nettuno was the nib. Although this pen's nib has an large "N" it is different from the original nib on a Nettuno I ordered about four years ago. Could be a Jowo, it's much finer, though firmer, than the original. Since I like thinner nibs, the change was okay, as my first Nettuno, though softer, wrote more like a medium. These large pens are comfortable to hold, have an easy, cleaner way to fill the converter under the blind cap. If you've not tried Nettuno, they are large and beautiful pens. Though their caps are postable, it makes the pen too back-heavy so I don't recommend posting. Pleased with my purchase.

This was my 1st Nettuno pen and it was an outstanding initial impression. The Crono writes as beautifully as it looks. Rose gold accents are very rare in my pen case so I could not pass it up. The 2 way access to the converter is a rarity as well. Even the box is unique!
