Collection: Monteverde Dakota


Monteverde Creates a SLIP-IN Revolution

Monteverde was inspired by the shape of the fuselage of the magnificent Douglas C-47 Skytrain, also known as Dakota, which played a pivotal role during World War II. The Dakota collection pays homage to the 80th anniversary of the end of this historic conflict on September 2, 1945.

Innovative Engineering
Inspired by the smooth ascent of a plane, Dakota’s innovative SLIP-IN CAP™ is where precision meets function, blending engineering excellence with sensual design to create more than just a pen—it’s an extraordinary tactile experience. Removing/replacing this cap as well as posting the cap is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced in a pen.

Breaking the Mold Again
Monteverde introduced the Dakota in a traditional fountain pen featuring a proven high quality JoWo #5 nib. Nib choices are extra fine, fine and medium. It uses cartridges or can be filled with the included ink converter. The feed and nib deliver a pleasurable consistent experience as would be expected.

The two-piece capped gel pen adds a touch of elegance and practicality with its extra smooth writing refill. Your pen comes loaded with a Parker-style black GEL Extra Fine Needlepoint. For added versatility, the Dakota Gel Pen also includes a standard ballpoint refill, easily converting your pen into a standard ink ballpoint if desired. This feature makes the pen perfect for those who appreciate the fluidity of gel ink but also want the reliable, long-lasting performance of a ballpoint, all fitting within the same sophisticated design.

The Monteverde Dakota collection arrives in a gift box with a specially designed military green sleeve, reflecting the heritage of the Dakota plane. The box sleeve is adorned with a propeller logo and a subtle plane design, paying homage to the iconic aircraft that inspired the collection.
