The Legacy of Diplomat: 100 Years of Excellence Founded in 1922 in Hennef, Germany, Diplomat has spent over a century perfecting the traditional art of the writing instrument. Unlike many manufacturers that have moved toward mass automation, Diplomat remains committed to manual craftsmanship. Every pen is still hand-assembled and tested by master craftspeople in Germany, ensuring that each nib delivers the signature “written-in” feel that enthusiasts have come to expect from the brand.

Elox: The Intersection of Art and Industry The name “Elox” is derived from “Eloxieren,” the German term for the anodisation process. While the Elox Ring inherits the iconic, fluted “zeppelin” shape of its predecessor, the Aero, it introduces a level of manufacturing complexity rarely seen in the industry. The barrel and cap are first anodised in a vibrant orange, then partially masked and re-anodized in a deep matte black. This results in a series of perfectly flush, alternating rings that are smooth to the touch but visually high-contrast. This process ensures the colours are not just on the surface, but are part of the metal itself, making the finish exceptionally resistant to wear and scratches.

A Modern Classic for the Contemporary Desk The Diplomat Elox Ring  is more than just a tool; it is a statement piece. The matte black surfaces provide a professional, understated foundation, while the horizontal orange or blue rings add a pulse of serene energy and modern flair. The weight distribution is meticulously calibrated to provide stability without causing hand fatigue, making it an ideal choice for long-form journaling, professional correspondence, or creative sketching.

Performance and Versatility Equipped with a finely engraved stainless steel nib, the Elox Ring offers a writing experience characterized by reliability and controlled ink flow. Whether you prefer the surgical precision of an Extra Fine nib or the expressive, wet lines of a Broad nib, the Elox delivers consistent performance. The innovative “Soft Sliding Click” cap closure—a hallmark of Diplomat engineering—ensures the nib stays moist and ready to write at a moment’s notice while providing a tactile sensation of quality every time the pen is used.
