MARK'STYLE Anterique Two-Tone Oil Ballpoint Pen - 0.5mm

Days Mach is MARK'S two-tone ballpoint: a slim ABS barrel in one colour with a contrasting clip, cap and tip in another. The look borrows from European shop pens of the 1960s, and MARK'S sells it as a pen that reads as a prop rather than office equipment.

• ABS and stainless-steel body, 141 mm long and 10 mm across, about 8 g.

Care

The clip and cap are stainless steel, the barrel ABS — wipe the whole pen with a dry or barely damp cloth. Solvents attack the ABS and dull the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Days Mach the same pen as ANTERIQUE?
A: No. The pen is MARK'S DAYS Mach, sold under model codes DAY-BP7 and DAY-BP10; ANTERIQUE is a separate brand with its own codes. Shops sometimes file it under the older name.

Q: What do the two colours mean?
A: The pairing describes the barrel against the clip, cap and tip. 'Light Blue & Red', for example, is a pale blue barrel with red fittings.

Q: How big is it compared with the wooden DAYS pens?
A: It is 141 mm long and 10 mm across at about 8 g — shorter and slightly fatter than the 154 mm wooden Tous les Jours pen.

Q: What ink does it take?
A: 0.5 mm oil-based black ink, refillable. The barrel is a click type, so the refill swaps out from the top rather than the middle.

Q: Will the colour pairing match the photo exactly?
A: Screen colour varies. MARK'S photographs each pen flat on white and the pairings are high-contrast, so the two tones are easy to tell apart in person even when the exact shade shifts.
