Special edition of the Pininfarina Segno Space everlasting pencil to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Manufactured entirely from magnesium, it is incredibly light - only 15g. The sleek profile, coated in a white ceramic film, is reminiscent of the Apollo 11 rocket. The two pocket clips - one engraved with 'Pininfarina' - are positioned either side of the flattened barrel, which flares out into an oval profile at the grip area. The patented metal alloy tip (Ethergraf®) produces a precise, graphite-like line, so it writes like a hard pencil. It works by leaving a bit of the 'lead' on the paper, but the metal alloy wears down so slowly it should last for a lifetime of use.

The base is made of lightstone, a special composite material, and reproduces the LEM module landing area.

The Space pencil was designed with microgravity environments in mind, specifically that of the International Space Station, because unlike an ordinary graphite pencil, the Ethergraf® tip does not produce debris that could be hazardous in such a situation. In July 2017, three Space pencils were gifted to the crew of the ISS during the VITA - Vitality, Innovation, Technology and Ability - mission manned by astronauts Paolo Nespoli of the European Space Agency, NASA's Randy Bresnik and Sergey Ryazansky of Russia's Roscosmos.

Dimensions: 157m long, 13mm at its widest. Presented in a luxury giftbox complete with warranty and explanatory leaflet.
