How does the tip extend — is there a button or a twist?
The N-E 2.0 Pelagos Matte is a twist-action ballpoint: rotating the barrel extends and retracts the writing tip. There is no button to press. To expose the tip, rotate one section of the barrel in one direction; reverse the rotation to retract it. This mechanism keeps the profile clean and uninterrupted, which suits the low-gloss matte black identity of the Pelagos Matte finish. No separate piece needs to be set aside before writing.
What refill does this pen take, and where do I get a replacement?
When you need a replacement, the N-E 2.0 Pelagos Matte ballpoint accepts Parker-style G2 ballpoint refills. Yafa, the official US distributor of Nettuno, stocks the Schmidt P900, a large-capacity Parker-style G2 ballpoint refill, under item number SC58135. That is a compatible replacement Yafa carries. Order SC58135 directly through Yafa when the refill runs low.
What is the barrel made from, and where is the pen manufactured?
The N-E 2.0 is hand-turned from a solid rod of Italian resin. The Pelagos Matte colourway gives that resin a low-gloss matte black surface and a restrained dark profile, as opposed to the brighter resin finishes in the N-E 2.0 line. Today's Nettuno pens are manufactured in Naples by Maiora Pen Company. The resin itself is Italian, and the finished pen is made in Italy.
What does the name N-E 2.0 refer to?
N-E stands for Nineteen Eleven, a reference to Nettuno's documented origins: Nettuno traces its origins to Bologna in 1911 and founder Umberto Vecchietti, who used the city's Neptune fountain as the symbol for the brand. The 2.0 denotes the second iteration of the N-E line, released in 2024. Today's Nettuno pens are manufactured in Naples by Maiora Pen Company — a separate company from the original Bologna operation. The name connects the 2024 release to that documented history without implying an unbroken legal continuity.
