The Cross Apogee embodies the apex of great design; a grand writing instrument that pen aficionados and dedicated Cross owners will covet. At first look, the Apogee seems clean and simple. After further inspection, one notices a strong tie to the traditional, refined, and romantic look. The Chrome Apogee features an intricately etched diamond-patterned texture, a decorative engraving so fine only a specially designed engraving machine can cut it. Then each pen is then hand polished and protected by multiple coats of water clear lacquer. Then it is topped off with an 18 karat solid gold nib.
