DESIGN STORY
Beneath the streets of Paris, old limestone quarries hold the remains of millions. Their silence and carefully arranged walls of bone give the Catacombs a beauty that stays with those who visit.
THE CATACOMBS takes that hidden world as the beginning of an imagined story: roses blooming in darkness, butterflies drifting between skulls, and a crescent moon above the sleeping city. Across the titanium body, those elements come together in gold, silver, violet, and blue.
There is something fitting about carrying that story on a pen. We use it to record our lives, write to the people we love, and leave something of ourselves on paper.

BEAUTY THAT ENDURES
THE CATACOMBS brings the mystery beneath Paris to a limited edition titanium bolt action pen, inspired by beauty that survives beyond a lifetime.
Gold and silver skulls, winding roses, butterflies, and a crescent moon come together across violet and blue. Created directly on the metal through titanium anodizing and precision laser anodizing, the artwork turns an everyday writing tool into a personal reminder of what we choose to keep and pass on.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. THE NILE CHRONICLE is a one-time custom production run, meaning only one batch will be made. Because titanium anodizing naturally creates slight variations, no two pens will be exactly the same.
Pre-orders are open through October 13, with shipping currently estimated to begin around November 21.
Please note that this is a live production project, so timelines may shift due to material availability or manufacturing adjustments. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates and cannot be guaranteed, especially for orders needed by a specific gift or event date.
A Bastion pen is made for people who appreciate the feel of a finely crafted writing instrument. From the material and finish of the body to the crisp movement of the bolt action, every detail is designed to feel considered in the hand.
The premium experience is also made to last. The pen can be refilled, maintained, and carried for years instead of being replaced when the ink runs out. That combination of craftsmanship, longevity, and distinctive feel is what makes a Bastion pen worth the price.
The HyperBolt™ gives the pen a smooth, solid action and locks securely when the tip is in use. Precision CNC machining keeps the movement clean and consistent, giving you satisfying mechanical feedback every time you engage it. That same tactile feel also makes the pen enjoyable to fidget with between notes.
Yes. Bastion bolt action pens are designed to feel comfortable in either hand. The bolt is positioned for easy thumb operation whether you write left-handed or right-handed.
Every pen arrives ready to use with a fine-point black ink refill that delivers smooth, consistent lines with no ink blotches.
All current Bastion standard and Slim bolt action pens use the classic Parker-style G2 refill, also known as the ISO G2 or International G2 format.
This is not the same as a Pilot G2 refill. Some wider third-party Parker refills may also have fit issues, so Bastion replacement cartridges are recommended for the most reliable fit and smooth operation.
Changing the refill is simple and does not require any tools.
- Retract the writing tip.
- Unscrew the front section of the pen.
- Remove the old refill and set the small spring aside.
- Place the spring over the writing end of the new refill.
- Insert the new refill and screw the front section back on until snug.
- Test the bolt action and write a few lines on paper.
If the refill feels stuck, does not retract, or creates resistance in the bolt action, remove it rather than forcing the mechanism. Confirm that it is the correct Parker-style G2 size or use a Bastion replacement cartridge.
Yes. A Bastion pen has the presence of a premium gift while remaining useful enough to enjoy every day. Its refined finish, substantial feel, and satisfying bolt action make it memorable without turning it into something too precious to use.
It is a thoughtful choice for graduations, promotions, retirements, birthdays, and professional milestones. You can also choose a material that suits the recipient, from lightweight aluminum and titanium to the more substantial feel of stainless steel.
