The Caran d’Ache RNX.316 ballpoint is a high-tech writing instrument that draws its name from the fusion of two iconic shapes—Round aNd heXagonal—and the high-grade 316L stainless steel from which it is crafted. This specific alloy is renowned in fine watchmaking for its exceptional corrosion resistance and durability.

Core Design & Finishes

The collection was developed to offer a modern, industrial aesthetic with a focus on ergonomics and grip. While the series was largely discontinued around 2019, it remains a favorite among collectors for its specialized finishes:

• PVD Black: This version features a deep black finish applied via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), a technique that bonds ceramic to the steel at an atomic level. This creates a surface that is incredibly hard and scratch-resistant.

Technical Features

• Goliath Giant Cartridge: The ballpoint is equipped with Caran d'Ache’s famous Goliath refill, which features a tungsten carbide ball for clean lines and is capable of writing up to 600 A4 pages.

• Precision Mechanism: It typically utilizes a high-quality push-button mechanism that is engineered for smooth, silent deployment.

  
  

   

• Ergonomic Grip: The transition from a hexagonal cap to a round barrel provides a unique and comfortable handling experience that prevents the pen from rolling off flat surfaces.
