Leonardo MZG 2.0 Fountain Pen - Orchidea Blue GT #6

The Leonardo MZG 2.0 in Orchidea Blue brings together high-volume piston filling, a limited production run of 426 pieces, and a sapphire-toned resin body trimmed in gold. Each pen carries a 'La fenice' phoenix design engraved on the nib, a signature flourish for this numbered edition.

The integrated piston mechanism holds 1.5 milliliters of ink and exposes a transparent window along the barrel so you can check the level at a glance. No converter cartridges to fiddle with—you fill straight from the bottle, twist the piston knob at the tail, and write until the reservoir runs dry. The ABS feed channels ink smoothly to a steel nib offered in eight grinds, from extra-fine to stub 1.5, plus two elastico flex options.

Orchidea Blue gets its name from the orchid flower, chosen for its deep, shifting color that leans violet in some light and teal in others. The sapphire mermaid finish adds depth and shimmer, a visual nod to the flower-inspired theme Leonardo Officina Italiana built this series around. Gold trim on the clip, band, and piston knob contrasts with the cooler resin tones.

Because this is a limited run, the number stamped on each pen marks its place in the 426-piece batch. The phoenix nib engraving ties into the collection's theme of renewal and growth, though the practical upshot is a reliable steel point tuned to the feed geometry. The piston mechanism itself is field-serviceable with a dedicated disassembly tool, so you can maintain the seal and replace worn parts years down the line.

If you write frequently enough to refill weekly, the 1.5ml reservoir and piston design will matter more than the color. If you value a pen that looks distinct on a desk or in a case, the orchidea finish and limited numbering will carry more weight. Either way, you get a full-sized writer that holds enough ink to finish long sessions without stopping.
