Review: Beautifully made - Very unique click - Quality manufacturing, slick color (powdercoat red iirc) and crisp cross graphics. Pen has a very even balance, it's not too fat and not too slim. The click... it's the most delicate action of all my collection. I use monteverde ceramic ball gel, not the packed in goliath. You can barely feel the nock engaging the plunger to lock the the tip into position. At first, I thought it felt cheap but have since felt appreciative of the action. Like a whisper, or gentle spring wind. A maple leaf landing on the glassy surface of a shady, mossy pond. Cool pen. Mom said it's cute. Review: Awesome writing utensil - As a Swiss there is no other Brand than Caran D'Ache. Love this pen, writes nicely, fits in hand perfectly. Recommend. Would love to have every single one of them lol ## Features - Blue ink - Supplies - Quality art products - Made in switzerland ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004DW5HMM | | Best Sellers Rank | #168,476 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #4,676 in Ballpoint Pens | | Brand | Caran d'Ache | | Closure | Snap | | Color | red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (215) | | Date First Available | October 6, 2011 | | Grip Type | [OTHER] | | Ink Color | Blue | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.704 ounces | | Item model number | 849.253 | | Line Size | 0.5mm | | Manufacturer | Cell Distributors | | Manufacturer Part Number | 849.253 | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Number of Items | 1 | | Point Type | Medium | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 1 x 1 inches | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 1) | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Caran d'Ache - **Color:** red - **Ink Color:** Blue - **Writing Instrument Form:** Ballpoint Pen ## Images ![Caran D'ache Essentially Swiss Collection Ballpoint Pen Swiss Flag (849.253) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61b-xw5heLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully made - Very unique click *by S***G on December 23, 2023* Quality manufacturing, slick color (powdercoat red iirc) and crisp cross graphics.

Recommend. Would love to have every single one of them lol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wanted this great pen for years! *by J***A on March 23, 2019* I just don't like buying things for myself. I had been gifted a Caran d'ache pen several years ago in college. It remains the pen that made me realize a good pen makes a world of difference when you write a lot. This pen is superior in every way. The look, weight, and the feel is of the highest quality. It is such a beautiful pen that my wife immediately asked me to order one for myself... This one was supposed to be that pen; but I had no problem ordering a second one that I could use. (as a PhD student and scientist, she uses hers daily.) Fortunately, the shipping was very fast! This is a fantastic pen and a fantastic gift. I recommend ordering two every time you decide to go with a Caran d'ache. ## Frequently Bought Together - Caran D'ache Essentially Swiss Collection Ballpoint Pen Swiss Flag (849.253) - Caran D'ache Ballpoint Pen Cut Up Paper (849.254) - CREATIVE ART MATERIALS Caran D'ache Ballpoint Pen Metal Fluor Orange (849.030) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19561988-caran-dache-essentially-swiss-collection-ballpoint-pen-swiss-flag-849](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19561988-caran-dache-essentially-swiss-collection-ballpoint-pen-swiss-flag-849) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
