Spacetec Pocket Pen

Spacetec Pocket Pen

Spacetec Pocket Pen is the classic compact all-metal bullet pen, similar in design to the Fisher Space Pen. Simple rounded long-cap design is 97mm long when closed, but with the cap posted onto the back this is a very usable 135mm long. 10mm diameter.

Like all Spacetec pens the Pocket Pen features a pressurised ballpoint refill that is capable of writing in a range of extreme conditions: from 200 deg C to -50 deg C; underwater; upside-down; in zero gravity (always useful!) and onto greasy surfaces. The refill will write for around 3 miles - much longer than most normal refills.

Pocket Pen is available in Shiny Chrome (the image above looks matt, but the pen is polished chrome), blue, matt black, titanium, dark pink and lilac. The chrome pen features a ribbed finger grip - all others are smooth grip. Click here for the special edition Pocket Pen Pink

Supplied with a medium black refill. Schmidt 4889M refills available here.

Supplied gift-boxed.

Spacetec Refill Info
The refills in Spacetec pens are gas-pressurised. A small quantity of nitrogen gas pushes against a slider on top of the ink. The ink is thixotropic - an extremely viscous liquid which only flows when subjected to some stress.
As the tough tungsten-carbide ball of the refill rotates it shears the ink in contact with it causing it to liquify and coat the ball, transferring it to the writing surface.
The gas ensures that the ink will continue to flow even when the pen is upside-down. The same force also helps the ink to flow in conditions where it would not normally transfer easily, eg. onto wet or greasy paper; underwater; at high altitude; and in extreme lows or highs of temperature.
This is the technology developed originally by the Fisher Space Pen Co. to allow pens to write in the zero gravity of space. Diplomat Spacetec pen refills are manufactured with similar technology by the Schmidt company of Germany.
