Esterbrook Estie review by Jessica Coles and posted on The Well-Appointed Desk
When Kenro first announced that they had acquired Esterbrook back in April, I suspected they would turn out something good, but the Estie far exceeded my expectations. Given the history with the “new” Esterbrook brand, first resurrected a few years ago to little acclaim and much derision in the pen community, I was concerned that the Estie wouldn’t get a fair shake, but it appears that the reception has been largely positive, mainly because you can’t argue with the fact that the quality is top notch…

Esterbrook Phaeton Overview
Esterbrook’s new Phaeton 300R is a classic revival of the brands original Phaeton model released in 1964. The hooded nib fountain pen was all the rage during the 1960’s, and appear to be making a comeback with the new generation of fountain pen enthusiasts.
The Phaeton 300R has many excellent features which make it stand out from other pens in this category. First and foremost is the price. At a suggested retail price of $85.00, it is truly an exceptional value for this well designed and functional fountain pen.
Available in four colors, Mineral Blue, Spruce Green, Signal Red and Midnight Black, The Phaeton is made from a beautiful 1960’s inspired acrylic material which feels great in the hand. A brushed metal silver cap with gold plated clip, add elegance and style to the overall look of the pen.
The most important feature of the Phaeton 300R is the way it writes. Esterbrook used a hooded F/M gold plated hooded nib which allows the ink to flow wonderfully. A special inner cap insert prevents the ink from drying when not in use. The Phaetons removable plunger filling system makes for easy cleaning and maintenance.
The Phaeton 300R is functional pen designed to be your everyday user. With its added styling , it is truly a classic revival at an amazing price .
Now available at authorized Easterbrook dealers Worldwide.

UBOAT introduces their latest watch the Capsoil.
“From pure reporter of time to motor of the future, this is the heart of the new CAPSOIL model“. Starts with these words Italo Fontana, founder and designer of U-BOAT, the presentation of his latest creation.
Available in chronograph and solotempo versions, CAPSOIL, whose electromechanics is completely immersed in an oil bath, revolutionises the concept of U-BOAT creations, while retaining the brand’s strong exclusive personality.
“CAPSOIL goes beyond the boundaries of traditional design, combining innovative features with retro-style lines, which prove it as a one of a kind in the world watch market.” Italo continues in the enthusiastic description of this innovative model.
The oily liquid, surrounding the dial, transforms it into an absolute black, making it three-dimensional and deep. This fluid creates an ever-moving compensation bubble, as well as offering a surprisingly amplified view of the hands, which seem to float free as in absence of the glass.
The 45 mm diameter case, in the two steel versions, one with black DLC treatment, blends with the highest quality convex sapphire, from which beige spheres and indexes treated with superluminova emerge. Hermetic resistance at a pressure of 10 ATM is guaranteed by the back case fastened with screw and featuring a smoked mineral glass. The watch is finally equipped with a leather strap with innovative water-repellent lining, handcrafted by expert Florentine artisans.
