Paragon…the symbol of distinction. The Paragon was actually named after an Englishman! A great connoisseur of art, luxury objects and especially fountain pens, the gentleman had an immediate love affair with Armando Simoni's 12 faceted creation.

Produced since 1932 without interruption, the Paragon is recognized the world over as the signature piece of Omas production
