hANd-PolIShed lACqueR CoAtING

Lacquer coatings, comprised of organic resins (polyester, acrylic and

urethanes) and pigments, provide the vibrancy, depth, and smooth

texture of stunning jewel-like finishes.

Apogee, Titan Red Lacquer

PoWdeR CoAtING

Powder coating is typically more durable than liquid (lacquer)

coatings due to its relative thickness. Finely ground dry particles

(epoxy, polyester, etc.) are electrostatically charged and sprayed

onto brass shells, giving a softer yet textured feel to these

understated matte finishes.

ATX, Basalt Black

SAtIN FINISh

satin finish is produced by sandblasting the surface of a brass or

aluminum shell followed by decorative chrome plating. The mechani-

cal abrasion achieved by sandblasting provides a smooth matte finish

to the otherwise shinier feel of chrome-based outer layer.

Tech3, Satin Chrome

lumINA

Lumina coating incorporates dual lacquer technologies, giving the

product a charming soft luminescence. The base coat provides the

great adhesion to the brass and the lacquered topcoat lends a

sophisticated sheen of mica – the result is a perfect blend of depth

and reflection.

Century Colors, Tender Rose

ChRome PlAtING

chrome plating is an electrochemical process where metallic chrome

is deposited on caps, barrels and appointments (cap rings, clips and

points). The process produces highly wear-resistant finishes that

maintain their brightness throughout the life of the product.

Cross Townsend, Lustrous Chrome

Pvd

PVD (physical vapor deposition) is a process by which an alloy of

super hard Titanium is applied to the metal substrate of our pens.

C-Series, Carbon Black

hIGh GloSS, CRyStAllINe ANd metAllIC FuSIoN ReSIN

resin is a process of heated compounds that can be formed and

shaped. The pen silhouettes are formed and shaped with precision

balance for writing ease. our high gloss crystalline resin offers a

unique jewel-like sparkle that enhances the pen’s appearance and

provides a smooth texture. our metallic fusion resin is a combination

of metallic flake and distinct colorant blends that produce a unique

pop of light reflection that is toned down with a semi-gloss finish

creating a warm appearance.

Cross Affinity, Jewel Blue

Exclusive Cross Finishes

Special Finishes – Cross luxury writing instruments are offered in a variety of fashionable colors and

finishes, each with their own distinct characteristics:


Exclusive Cross Finishes

SteRlING SIlveR

sterling silver must contain 92.5% silver. The balance can be any other

material, but is mostly copper for increased durability. These pens

have a softer feel to them, and carry an elegance that grows with age.

Century II, Sterling Silver

PlAtINum PlAted

A contemporary update to the 100 year old technique of electro-

plating, the use of Platinum provides a clean, universal shine that is

unmatched in any other precious metal. Perhaps the most in-demand

of the precious metals collection, Platinum offers elegance, style, and

versatility.

Cross Townsend, Platinum Plated

RhodIum

rhodium, like Gold is a noble precious metal with a bright white color.

it is non tarnishing and will remain shiny throughout its life.

Cross Townsend, Rhodium Appointments

10 kARAt Gold

Gold composition is based on a 24 part scale. 10K Gold contains 10

parts Gold and 14 parts other metals, thus is 41.7% Gold. Due to this

mix in composition, 10K gold is both harder than other Gold designa-

tions and also less precious, and is easily recognized in our Townsend,

century, and century ii lines by the full-size black lacquer dome on

the top of the cap.

Classic Century, 10 Karat Gold

14 kARAt Gold

containing 14 parts Gold and 10 parts other metal(s), 14K Gold meters

out at 58.3% pure Gold. The most popular and versatile composition,

this finish contains a slight rose hue and is notable by the half-sized

black lacquer dome on the top of the caps in our century and

century ii collections.

Classic Century, 14 Karat Gold

SolId 18 kARAt Gold

The closest cross offers to pure 24K Gold, our stunning 18K Gold

offerings are 75% pure Gold. A much softer metal than the other Gold

offerings in our line, its shade is the Gold most commonly associated

with the metal itself. Notable by a single black lacquer band around

the top of the cap in our Townsend and century lines. The 18K offer-

ings mark the finest in quality and are true heirlooms. The cap and

barrel of the pens are 100% 18K Gold. While the content of the Gold

itself is not pure Gold in our 18K offerings, the pen shells are made of

18K Gold.

Classic Century, Solid 18 Karat Gold

Gold FIlled oR Rolled Gold

Also called gold overlay. A layer of either 10K, 14K or 18K Gold is

permanently bonded by heat and pressure to the surface of a support

metal, then rolled or drawn to a prescribed thickness. The result is a

higher Gold content than would be achievable through Gold Plating,

and due to the strength of the metal to which it is bonded, is actu-

ally stronger than solid Gold. Gold Filled provides the look and feel

of solid Gold, but without the natural softness and sensitivity of this

precious metal.

Classic Century, 10 Karat Gold Filled/Rolled Gold

Precious Metals – Cross offers a variety of Precious Metals in our Classic Century, Century II, and

Townsend product lines. These collections are made from the finest and most precious metals

on earth. From Sterling Silver to Platinum Plated to 10K, 14K, and 18K Gold, both Filled/Rolled and

Solid, these items have long served as the hallmark of Cross craftsmanship, beauty, and renown

quality. Some points of differentiation in the Precious Metals Collection:

Tip Technologies

cross luxury writing instruments are available in a wide variety of

tips, to suit many consumers’ needs. Depending on the item, the

tip technologies available to our consumers are:

Ballpoint Pen

• The ballpoint is the most popular tip technology and in many

ways the simplest. A ballpoint pen uses a small rotating ball

made of carbide to disperse ink as you write. This ball acts as

a buffer between the material you’re writing on and the ink

inside the pen. The ball rotates freely and rolls out the ink as

it is continuously fed from the ink reservoir.

• ballpoint Pens are not capped, but instead retract and store

via a rotating mechanism in the barrel.

• Low maintenance and easily refillable, the ballpoint Pen is

the option for the everyday pen user.

Selectip Rolling Ball

• our most versatile tip technology is proprietary to cross, and is

known as selectip rolling ball. A selectip allows you to “select”

the kind of refill you want to use in this writing instrument from

the following options:

• Gel rolling ball (a mix of ballpoint ease of use and the

elegance of Fountain Pen ink-flow)

• Jumbo ballpoint (ballpoint technology with a bolder,

fuller write-out)

• Document Marker (or Hi-Lighter)

• Porous-Point (most commonly known as a Flair or

Marker Point)

• The inks in a roller ball are generally aqueous based. This

results in a smoother, fluid (or wet) lay-down of ink similar

to a Fountain Pen. Aqueous based inks, due to their fine

fluidity, also tend to dry out quicker, thus care must be

taken to always cap, or retract, selectip pens between uses.

• Unlike ballpoint Pens, most selectip Pens have a separate

cap which prevents the ink from drying during storage.

Gel Ink Pen

• The tip technology of gel ink has been rapidly gaining

popularity over the past few years and cross now has

several retractable gel ink writing instruments.

• Gel inks are generally aqueous based. This results in a smoother,

fluid (or wet) lay-down of ink similar to a Fountain Pen.

• Aqueous based inks, due to their fine fluidity, also tend to dry

out quicker, thus care must be taken to always retract the tip

after use.

Pencil

• cross mechanized pencils are offered in a select number of

sKUs and utilize the cross switch-it converter. This pen to

pencil converter is utilized like a cross refill and contains

durable 0.7mm leads. The size of the mechanical pencil’s

line is determined by the width of the lead.

• For the traditionalist as well as professionals in drafting and

drawing fields, cross Pencils offer fine quality and a lifetime

mechanical guarantee.

Fountain Pen

• one of the oldest styles of writing instrument, fountain pen nibs

actually adapt to your own personal grip and writing style over

time, creating lines on the page that — like your signature —

are all your own. ink flows by capillary action from an ink

reservoir to the fountain pen nib, which is the delicate split

metal mechanism which contacts the paper. A favorite of the

true connoisseur, fountain pens are each a work of art in their

own right.

• cross offers nibs in three widths: broad, Medium, Fine

• Eight different materials (see chart below):

• cross Fountain Pens support two different feed systems:

• cartridge, or a replaceable capsule full of ink which

is inserted into the neck of the nib.

• converter, which allows the writer to load liquid

bottled ink and insert it into the writing instrument.
