A new generation of Excellence, in a timeless design. The evolution has been focused on the experience of use, with a new exclusive closure system (Soft sliding click) bringing great softness and durability. The Excellence A2 is now equipped with full metal spring-loaded clip preventing the deformation of the clip, making it easier to hold the pen to a pocket or a folder. Made in Germany, DIPLOMAT writing instruments have been manufactured using traditional methods of craftsmanship since 1922.
