Omas 360 reviewed by Michael Picerno

First off, this pen is huge - probably 6 inches capped, bigger than a big
Parker Duofold or MB Diplomat. It has a unique triangular shape I have never
seen before in a pen that is advertised by OMAS as being ergonomic, etc.,
which is actually the case. Your fingers seem to naturally grip the pen in
that triangular shape very easily so even though its a big bulky pen it
isn't awkward at all, at least for me. Despite the size, its very
lightweight and holds an immense amount of ink - you can write for pages and
pages without fear of running dry. It's a piston fill, as are all OMAS pens,
which is fine for me but can be a problem if you're used to cartridges.
There's the usual very nice fancy gold trim on the cap and on the body of
the pen just below the nib; they also make a model with white gold trim. The
standard size comes only in black and they make a "midsized" version (still
large) in several colors that look pretty nice. The best thing about this
pen, and all other OMAS pens, is their amazing, butter smooth flexible nibs.
I have literally never written with a smoother more flexible point. It makes
any other nib (MB, Parker, Waterman) feel like totally inflexible steel.
The nib itself it very large, elaborately engraved and half plated in
platinum for a nice effect. I'm a lefty and had mine custom cut with an
oblique nib that gives a bit of an italic look to my writing that really
stands out. I use it almost daily and it has been flawless. Not the most
impressive thing to look at (It's not a Waterman Edson, or a fancy marbled
celluloid, etc) but has never let me down
