Condition and information:

This is the first Waterman Hemisphere series model, made in the early 1990s. This model was succeeded by the HII model, which is nearly identical in form factor but has larger trimmings, more similar to the Waterman Expert. The set offered here comes in a special presentation gift box which also includes a UV keychain presumably for checking the authenticity of paper notes.
These are perfect everyday Waterman pens, very easy to use, maintain and clean, trouble-free fountain pen meant to be used daily and simple and elegant ballpoint pen.
The pens feature a modern design with traditional Waterman lines and the famous Waterman clip. Both pens are made out of thick beautifully radially brushed stainless steel, very tough, difficult to scratch, or dent even if dropped. 
They both have a good grip due to the brushed surface, and are heavy pens with a nice fit and feel in the hand.

The fountain pen comes with a very smooth stainless steel nib, F fine size; it is a constant precise writer with constant smooth ink-flow, no mess on the paper. The best part of this Waterman pen is that it uses Standard International size cartridges or a converter, one new cartridge is included with the pen. This means that the user can use a variety of cartridges from a variety of manufacturers instead of being locked to particular manufacturer cartridges or converters.
The ballpoint pen features a smooth mid-body twist on/off mechanism and uses a standard Waterman refill, new one is included.

The set comes in NOS condition, with no signs of use, no dings, no scratches, perfect cosmetic and functional condition in its original presentation box.
