Founded in 1925 by way of Armando Simoni in Bologna, Italy, OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni) speedy mounted itself as a purveyor of notable writing units. Simoni, an engineer and pen enthusiast, dedicated his life to creating fountain pens that were not only functional but also beautiful to behold. His motto, “A pen must make writing pleasurable,” reflects the ethos that OMAS pens are designed for writers who cherish the experience of writing as much as the words themselves.
