The Diplomat Excellence A2 – Midnight Blue with Chrome Trim offers a more refined and slightly more expressive look compared to the classic black version. The deep midnight blue lacquer has a subtle richness that shifts under light, paired with polished chrome trim for a clean, modern contrast. The finish is applied over a solid metal body, giving the pen a premium feel and strong durability.
Like other A2 models, it features Diplomat’s signature soft sliding click cap, which provides a smooth, secure closure without threading. The pen is equipped with a #6 JoWo stainless steel nib, known for its smooth, consistent performance, and is available in multiple sizes (EF to B). It uses a cartridge/converter filling system, making it compatible with both bottled ink and standard international cartridges.
In hand, the pen feels substantial and well-balanced, thanks to its all-metal construction. The weight gives it a more premium, controlled writing feel, though it may feel heavier compared to resin pens. Overall, this version stands out for its elegant color, solid build quality, and reliable writing performance, making it a strong choice if you want something classic but with a bit more personality than plain black.
