Lamy Ballpoint Pico orange

The Lamy Pico is a pocket ballpoint with dual-action push mechanics: compact enough for any trouser pocket when closed, it extends to full writing length with a single press of the button. The plastic body features a rich, high-gloss orange lacquer finish – a colour that glows in any light and leaves a smooth, cool surface in the hand. Inside, the Compactmine M22 in black, medium line width, delivers archival-quality writing.

Features

• Dual-action push mechanics: Press the back end and the Pico extends to full-size length – the same press closes it again. No cap, no slider mechanism, just a single, precise motion.
• Pocket format: When retracted, noticeably shorter than 124 mm – fits flat in a pen case, shirt pocket or the smallest notebook band. Yet in the extended position, it sits properly weighted in the hand.
• High-gloss lacquer finish in orange: The smooth, reflective surface isn't applied but fired directly on – a rich, even orange tone with no matt spots or transitions. Fingerprints wipe away easily.
• Compactmine M22, medium line width, archival-quality: The refill writes cleanly and evenly on standard and smooth, calendered paper. Archival-quality ink means: lightfast and smudge-resistant, suitable for long-term storage.
• 22 g weight: For a ballpoint of this size, noticeably present in the hand – not featherweight, but with a pleasant heft that provides stability when writing.
• Made in Germany: Manufactured in Germany.

Use & Tips

• On the go and travelling: The Pico fits situations where a standard ballpoint would get in the way – jacket pocket, wallet compartment, notebook back cover. It's ready to use instantly, with no need to find a cap.
• Bullet journalling and quick notes: The M22's medium line width works for running text as well as frames, tables and handwritten lists. The archival-quality ink remains stable even after being marked over with highlighters – no smudging.
• Refill replacement: The Compactmine M22 is available separately, also in fine and broad line widths and in blue. If you prefer a finer line for densely written pages, choose the M22 in F.
• As a second pen: The Pico works well as a compact companion to your fountain pen – for situations where you need to sign or jot something down quickly without pulling out your main writing instrument.
• Caring for the lacquer finish: The high-gloss surface is robust but sensitive to scratches from other metal objects. Avoid carrying it in a case together with keys or coins.
