Commemorative limited edition writing instruments can sometimes be overdone in Nancy Olson's opinion, with well-meaning designers aiming to include just about every known detail referencing the person, place, or event celebrated. Montblanc's Tribute to the Great Wall of China High Artistry pens are simply about the story: the ancient art of calligraphy, the Ming Dynasty, and the legendary Silk Road.

It's rated at 100 m water resistance, but without a screwdown crown, it's best to use caution with submersible activities. Quartz is also refreshing for those sick and tired of inaccurate 6r35 movements or handwinding their 2801 based Hamiltons.
