Description
Classic Century’s sleek profile and patented twist-action barrel once sparked a design revolution. Generations later, passionate fans remain loyal to the iconic silhouette, while newcomers appreciate its authenticity and timeless style. Classic Century is Cross’s best-selling writing instrument. It is known as much for its quality craftsmanship as it is for its impeccable design and sophisticated finishes. This Black Lacquer rollerball pen with chrome appointments is part of the redesign of this beloved classic. The lines have been further refined, and the threaded cap has been replaced with a click-on cap in order to shorten the profile to reflect the iconic Cross brand identity in its truest form. The classic Century fountain pen now also accepts a converter for those who prefer to fill their fountain pen from bottled ink.

Wasn't sure if I would like this pen based on some reviews. I do. I use it frequently. It writes well. Smooth ink flow. Light weight but sturdy in my opinion. I would buy another if I need one.

Cross Pens. Given as gifts to hundreds of thousands of people and bought for personal use far less often. People bemoan China's role producing this pen, but I don't really understand why. It is a good pen, and gets the job done. I made the switch to fountain pens about ten years ago when I was gifted a Cross Century 2, and it was my only Cross until just recently. It was OK. It worked. It also served as a gateway into a world of pens that I never knew existed. I fell into a deep pool full of vintage, modern, cheap and expensive pens of all types and descriptions. I am an accumulator, grabbing all sorts of fountain pens. I also became an avid collector and fan of Sheaffer pens, grabbing most of the models made from the late 1910's through today. That interest in Sheaffer lead me back around to Cross, as A. T. Cross purchased Sheaffer back in 2014. I like most of the recent Sheaffer pens (even though Cross has pushed the brand down-market trying to make Cross seem more premium. Shudder.) So, I decided to give Cross another shot. My 193rd pen was this Classic Century with Rose Gold PVD. This is a small, light pen. It feels right to people accustomed to cheap Bic pens and #2 pencils but feels odd in the hands of anyone who has used proper sized pens. It is also very light. The PVD creates a very thin coating - much thinner and lighter than Cross’s more traditional lacquer finish. I think this is actually a good thing. This pen is too small for serious writing and is relegated to note taking. My ideal quick note taking pens are usually plastic with fine nibs. Lighter pens ride easier in shirt pockets or clipped to my shirt placket, and a narrow nib behaves better on cheap paper. This little beauty fits the bill nicely even though it is made of metal. I don't understand the obsession some people have with Heavy=Quality. If you have that particular hang-up, you will not like this pen. Don’t buy it. Track down an original Waterman Philéas – they added weights in the barrel so it should feel hefty enough and it’s an excellent pen. The cartridges are ridiculous - odd, expensive, and annoying. But if I remember right, Cross ink is just rebranded Pelikan ink (good stuff) so no complaints with what's in the cart. The converters are easy to find so I can ditch the cartridges and move on. The nib is nothing special. It is better than many of the cheap Chinese nibs I’ve used, but it doesn’t have the smoothness or consistency of nibs made in Europe or Japan. I haven’t been able to find out where the steel Cross nibs are made, so I suspect they come from China like the rest of the pen. The nib feels more like the higher quality Chinese nibs sold on some of the better Chinese pens. It’s a bit dry for my tastes but dry nibs handle cheap paper better and fit my role for this pen well. Value. How about that value. If this pen finds it’s way into your hand in the normal way – as a gift – then it is a good value. If you pay full MSRP you should be ashamed and embarrassed. If you paid somewhere around half of MSRP (which should be possible easily, even on Amazon) then this is a great value and worth every penny. Don’t expect this pen to ever be a true collectable, or to appreciate in value in any way. It’ll most likely be a great pen to drag around and use until it gets crushed, lost, or stolen. And then you can just go grab another. Mostly because Cross moved production to China in order to stay in business. Now they can continue to operate for another century or two.

Style: Fountain Pen with Fin Nib
Color: Chrome -Medalist
I have many Cross pens, but only a couple of them are fountain pens: The Cross Townsend Medalist Refillable Fountain Pen Fine Nib; and a Cross Spire Golden Shimmer Fountain Pen Fine Nib. Thought I'd round things out a bit by adding a Cross Century fountain pen to my humble collection. I was immediately surprised at how well this pen writes. Frankly, I wasn't expecting much since my Spire is such a poor writing utensil and it's about the same size as this Century II. I think it also writes better than the Townsend. It's very smooth, the ink started flowing well right out of the box, the nib stays wet and it isn't at all scratchy. At first, I had the impression that it was a cheap pen because it is so light, but it looks great and writes even better.

I didn’t use this pen as the barrel color was not what I expected. I was looking more for chrome vs a gray color. Overall the cross pen was elegant, came boxed nicely and was shipped super fast. I returned it for another option.

I got this fountain pen because I strongly prefer slim pens/pencils, and this was the slimmest refillable metal fountain pen I could find. I also prefer metal because I prefer substantial weight to my pens/pencils. Unfortunately this thing is light as a feather! To some I understand this will be a bonus, but to me it feels so light it's a bit shocking - to the point where it feels cheap because the metal is so thin. Pretty sure a standard bic office pen weighs more than this, it's that light. I'm giving 4 stars not only because "I wish it was heavier", but because I have actual concerns about its longetivity. The inside being plastic (see glossy black in my photo), the SUPER thin metal case (feels like tin or aluminum?), and the fact that the cap secures on with very little pressure has me worried. To expand on the cap issue slightly, I'm not saying it'll fall off, you can shake this thing as hard as you want and it wont. But it definitely has hardly any grip, like even the pop/click when you put it on is very subtle. I can't tell if that's intentional to add to the "featherness" light touch this fountain pen brings, or if it's bad design. I've only had it a few hours so I've yet to see if the cap comes off from being jostled in a bag, but I have a strong feeling it will. Overall I want to Cross make this same pen but add a heavier weight metal shell (add even 0.2mm thickness to the metal please), and make the internals metal. The size and slimness is excellent, but the weight is not what I was expecting or looking for.

I love Cross Pens at least the Cross Pens from back in the day. Ball point pens are my pen of choice. This pen is fancy. It's sturdy. It has a different feel from other Cross Pens. The color Rose Gold is absolutely stunning. It's unique. I have no regrets. I would feel comfortable gifting this pen to friends and family that live out of state. A well built pen. Thanks elf
