I love love that pen. Not only ot is beautiful, but it write so smoothly as all my other Opus 88. I inked it with Diamine Starlit sea and it is just a gorgeous combo.

Thanks! Manon

Delightful! Fun! The writer’s choice. - endless smooth ink-Intelligent design- ease of use- comfort-comfort-comfort!

I have small hands- yet something about the balance and the grip design allows me a secure precise grip and ease of long hours of writing.
The pen I chose was orange and green. It has a pleasing tactile feel in use and in handling. The color combo looks cutting edge and modern as light plays over its ultra smmoth surface and through the clear cap, and translucent sections. Bravo to the designers.

Thank you Pen Chalet for quickly answering my emails.

The nib is exactly and easily fit into the pen.
Actually good due to opus genuine parts.
And the customer service? Only one word
fits for Penchalet, and it is “EXCELLENT”
Thanks.
Tippy.

Swapped this out on my Opus 88 Colori, and so far it's working fine. Sometimes it's nice to have a big bold nib.

Love the pen build quality, the ink flow is great too. This fits perfectly in my hand.

I bought this Opus 88 Jazz creamcycle orange fountain pen after reading numerous rave reviews about this brand. The resin's color is a warm, vibrant, but not garish at all ice cream bar orange. Very appealing. The ink window is dark teal, but does clearly show the ink level. I bought this pen out of curiosity about an eyedropper pen with a shut-off valve. Opening and closing the valve to control ink flow does not bother me at all. It is so well built. Just oozes quality. It's a big pen yet is very comfortable for my small hand. Holds a ton of ink. Now to the heart of the pen - the nib. I ordered the fine point nib and it wrote out of the box so smoothly. It lays down a line width that is a little finer than many Western fines, but I really like it. The tines were not out of alignment. I filled the pen with Monteverde Cherry Pie ink. The pen and the ink work so well together. The flow was a little on the dry side, but is wetter now that I've used it over some days. The pen is very easy to fill with the included glass eyedropper. At some point, I will get a different Opus 88 model because the nib is smoooooth, the manufacturing quality is so high,and the price is right. That is my great experience with this pen.

The Opus 88 Bela in red is a beautiful pen that writes great out of the box. The eyedropper works well to fill a lot of ink in the barrel easily and fast with no mess. Well worth a look for a new way to fill a pen.

A nice, good-size pen that writes well for me.

Another first to my collection. It is a large pen but not heavy. It wrote wonderfully right out of the box

Great pen from Opus 88 as usual. This one feels very comfortable unposted. The body color, especially filled is much, much darker than in marketing photos so the pen overall is dark in aspect. I have the blue, ordering the green. Beautifully finished.

One of the top notched fountain pens excellent quality and extremely well designed

Beautiful pen. I enjoy writing with three bigger barrel very much and the large ink capacity makes it convenient. Love my Flora.

Very well made pen! I love the look and feel of it, and also love that it comes with an eye dropper system. It is well worth the money spent.

All Opus 88 pens are, in my view, terrific and underrated, not least the Omar. Three aspects stand out: high quality of materials and construction, nicely tuned Jowo nibs, and a one-way shut-off valve filling system that’s simple, effective and reliable. And further, as a bonus, very competitively priced!

Smooth, wet and juicy.

Fits other pen with JoWo nib unit.

Excellent service from PenChalet

I'm a big fan of the Opus 88 fountain pens, especially their sealed-eyedropper filling system (which is very friendly to airplane travel). I think of this as a Koloro Demi as it is smaller than the full-size Koloro pens, which is a good thing as it has features those pens lack. Unlike it's larger sibling, this pen's cap actually posts, although posting makes it a little back heavy. It also sports a smaller #5 nib instead of the larger #6, but that's not an issue as both nibs are good performers, if fairly stiff, and offer little in the way of flex. The green/tan version is sharp looking IMHO. This pen definitely has an equal place with its larger brethren.

I mainly collect Pelikan pens from m120 to m1000, and a few Sailors. I rarely buy pens in this price range, except for the occasional Kaweco, Esterbrook (vintage model J), and Sheaffer( vintage). I tried a TWISBI before, but the pen felt rather cheap and the quality was lacking. However, the Opus 88 Koloro blew my mind. It wrote exceptionally well and has a quality build. I would even dare say that the quality is on par with Sailor and Pelikan. I ordered an extra fine nib, and it wrote better than even my 14k-21k gold nibs. Must own pen, even if you have higher dollar pens like I do.

Have several Opus 88 pens but this Omar series is my favorite. And a grandchild, who loves her candy, was standing beside me as I inboxed this one. She has christened it “The Butterscotch”.
As all the Omars- it writes without a glitch and never dries out. I keep several on my desk. They are all a joy. See SBR Brown’s You Tube on this model. It’s all true.

the right item at the right price

A beautiful pen. It's a pleasure to hold and to look at. And it writes like all my other Opus 88 pens. Flawlessly and with perfect accuracy. Very smooth. I have three Opus 88 pens and I will likely have more. They're a fine company and they produced a superb product.

It is a rather large pen but very pretty. I do like it very much.

I’ve never really been obsessed with demonstrators; I don’t hate them, but they’ve always felt like a bit of a gimmick. That being said, as soon as I saw this pen, I knew that I wanted it and I’ve been extremely happy with the purchase. I love the large size, simple but distinctive cylinder shape, and the absurd amount of ink that it holds. It’s not perfect; the eye dropper filing system is more involved than a simple cartridge converter or piston filler (I didn’t have an eye dropper pen, so that was part of the appeal for me), it tends to burp a little ink into the cap no matter how careful you are, and it’s definitely not a great pen for jotting quick notes. Still, it’s comfortable to hold, writes forever, and the fine #6 JoWo nib on mine is near perfection (smooth and wet with barely any feedback).
