The Cross Century II takes the iconic Cross silhouette and gives it a bolder, more purposeful presence. While it retains the clean lines of the original Classic Century, the Century II features a medium-diameter profile and a weighted feel that many writers find more comfortable for long-form correspondence. Available in finishes ranging from Black Lacquer and Lustrous Chrome to Translucent Blue and Gunmetal Gray, this collection is the perfect choice for those who want a "dress pen" with a more substantial grip.

What Makes Cross Century II Special?

The appeal of the Century II lies in its masterful balance, bridging the gap between the ultra-slim Cross Classic Century and the oversized, heavy Townsend. By offering a slightly wider barrel, this collection provides enhanced ergonomics that significantly reduce hand fatigue for writers who find slender pens difficult to grip. This larger diameter, paired with a range of polished finishes, gives the pen a more commanding professional presence, whether it’s resting on a desk or tucked into a suit pocket. Despite its more substantial feel, it remains a traditional Cross instrument at heart, featuring the iconic conical top that has served as a hallmark of American design since 1946.

The Cross Century II Fountain Pen: Performance and Precision

The Cross Century II fountain pen is designed for those who want a sophisticated writing experience without the steep learning curve.

High-Quality Nibs: Depending on the finish, these pens feature precision-ground stainless steel, gold-plated, or 18K solid gold nibs designed for consistent ink flow.

Versatile Filling System: Every fountain pen includes two Cross ink cartridges to get you started. For those who prefer bottled ink, the Cross Century II fountain pen is compatible with the Cross #8751 push-in converter.

A Familiar Feel: Because the grip section is wider than the slim version, it offers more control for those new to fountain pen writing.

Classic Twist-Action: Cross Century II Ballpoint Pens

The Cross Century II ballpoint pen is the quintessential "everyday executive" pen. It uses a smooth, bidirectional twist-action mechanism to deploy the point.

Reliability: Each ballpoint comes pre-loaded with a black medium-point refill (#8513).

Gift-Ready Durability: Like the rest of the line, the Cross Century II ballpoint pen is crafted with a solid metal core, making it an excellent candidate for custom engraving to celebrate promotions or graduations.

The "Selectip" Cross Century II Rollerball Advantage

One of the most versatile pens in our collection is the Cross Century II rollerball. It uses the Cross "Selectip" system, which lets you change how the pen writes simply by swapping the refill.

Three Pens in One: The Selectip body can accommodate a traditional liquid ink rollerball (for a fountain-pen-like flow), a jumbo ballpoint (for long-lasting reliability), or a porous-point (felt-tip) refill.

Convenient Snap-Cap: The Cross Century II rollerball features a secure click-off cap that protects the ink from drying out while allowing for quick, one-handed access.

Custom Engraving for Professional Milestones

Because the Cross Century II is crafted with a solid metal core beneath its elegant lacquers and platings, it is an ideal candidate for custom engraving. A personalized name or set of initials reveals a sharp, permanent contrast against the barrel, transforming a high-performance writing tool into a meaningful heirloom. This makes Century II a premier choice for celebrating graduations, promotions, or retirements. Whether you are choosing the deep-etched look on Lustrous Chrome or a subtle inscription on Black Lacquer, our on-site engraving ensures your gift is as unique as the achievement it celebrates.

Lifetime Mechanical Guarantee

Every Cross pen is backed by the Cross Lifetime Mechanical Warranty. This guarantee ensures that the internal mechanisms (the ballpoint's twist action or the fountain pen's internal seals) are covered for the life of the pen. When you buy a Cross Century II from Goldspot, you are investing in a tool designed to last a generation.
