To celebrate 60 years of production at the historic Crewe factory, Bentley Motors presents its first collection of limited edition pens and its first collaboration with Tibaldi. Each Tibaldi for Bentley pen is an exclusive limited edition writing instrument, inspired by Bentley Crewe's special edition models: the Arnage and Continental GT Diamond Series cars.

The tip of the cap precisely recalls the shape of the gearshift of the Mulliner edition of the Continental GT Diamond Series. The body finish evokes the texture of the Bentley dashboard, known as "engine turning". The characteristic overlapping circles of turned aluminum were typically found on race car cockpit interiors and were used on one of Bentley's earliest models, the Blower.
