Inspired by the opera house

Waterman created the Opera Collection as a tribute to the timeless elegance and ornate detailing of French opera houses. The engraving on the gold-coated cap is inspired by the Man 100 Opera edition of 1985, and the collection spans four models: Exception, Carène, Expert and Hémisphère. On the Expert, that engraving covers a generous, well-proportioned cap, so the detail really catches the light.

Why the Expert?

The Expert is Waterman's classic full-sized pen, with a substantial barrel that rests comfortably in larger hands. At around 32g it has a reassuring, balanced weight without feeling heavy, which makes it ideal for long days of meetings, contracts and notes.

Writing with it

A smooth twist of the barrel brings the tip into place, and the Waterman refill lays down a clean, consistent line. There is no cap to lose and no click to disturb a quiet meeting room.

Who will love this pen
