## Features

- DISTINCTIVE DESIGN: Substantial, yet streamlined. Traditional, yet on-trend. Cross Calais is an everyday favorite making smart new statements in style.
- LIFETIME MECHANICAL WARRANTY: All Cross writing instruments are unquestionably guaranteed against mechanical failure, regardless of age. (Some exclusions apply.)
- BALLPOINT TECHNOLOGY: Ideal for everyday use with quick drying ink (ideal for left-handed users.) A ballpoint pen uses a small rotating ball to disperse the ink as you write. The ball rotates freely and rolls out the ink as it is continuously fed from the ink reservoir. Low maintenance and easily refillable.
- RELIABLE WRITING: High quality ink formula offers consistently smooth laydown while the medium-point tip produces crisp, bold lines for excellent visibility. 0.31mm Line Width. Included refill writes up to 1.2 miles!
- GIFT READY: The gift of choice for generations. Perfect for birthday’s, graduations, promotions, anniversaries, and more. A Cross writing instrument offers both practicality and sentimental value. Proudly presented in a Luxury Gift Box.
- CROSS HERITAGE: We've been writing our story since 1846. Inventing. Innovating. Always evolving. Since our earliest days, Cross has rewritten the rules for putting pen to paper. Our founder Richard Cross was a passionate champion of writing as an art form – a personally rewarding experience worthy of distinguished, expertly-crafted tools.
