Greetings!
First launched in 1924, the Duro is a timeless classic British pen from Conway
Stewart, the right size for the pocket and treasured by both the men and women who use this pen in their daily professional lives.
Its timeless lines are pure 1920's, but are as contemporary and valid today as when
the pen was first designed.
Handmade from resin with solid hallmarked 18 carat gold rings and nib, the Duro has proven to demonstrate the characteristics of a lovely classic pen and writes with a fluid and clear flow.

Duro Resin Whirl designs
From left to right:
Yellow Whirl The rich vibrant warmth of autumn colours represented by glowing bands of vivid yellow set against a back drop of luxious russet. The Yellow Whirl is fun, vibrant and modern. Ideal to express your individuality.
White
Whirl
Don't let the
name fool you; our White Whirl is intertwined on an electric blue foundation of
this hand made resin. The underlying mixture of shimmering light and stunning
rich blue is perfectly accented with invigorating swirls and swooping lines of
white. It's both modern and classic at the same time.
Red
Whirl
Not just a deep and elegant green, our Red Whirl takes green to new heights!
Shimmering shades of pearlescent green are blended together to form the
backdrop to swirling lines of rich red. The effect is stunning and outspoken.
Red Whirl is both bold and adventurous!

Duro Resin Autumn finishes From left to right:
Shingle Our classic mixture of
cream and translucent amber is called Shingle. Bringing to life evocative
memories of days spent on the beach, Shingle is warm and inviting, and sets off
the studied elegance of the Duro perfectly, while not being too overpowering
even in the larger Churchill. It is a color for those desiring powerful
expression coupled with restrained dignity.
Honey Noire
Rich orange amber marbled with
deep black, our Honey Noire elegantly adapts itself to both the sturdy lines of
the classic Duro as well as the modern 100. A warm color evokes gentle
contemplation, even as it sets a striking note of distinguished elegance.
Lava
As a fiery flow of Magma headed down the slopes of a volcano, Lava is
both exciting and portentous! Much as the molten rock beneath a thin crust of
cooling lava, it's hot tones of red, orange, and yellow are masked with rich
ebony marbling.
|
 Sepia Blue
A deep indigo background forms the
base for our Sepia Blue. We have added lighter shades of navy and pearlescent
amber to create this unique color. It shimmers with life while retaining a
sophisticated elegance that fits perfectly in any setting. Flecked Amethyst
For fans of passion and purple,
Flecked Amethyst is a sure pleaser. Faithful to its name, it begins with a
gently shimmering background of a deep, dark purple, we added flakes of a
lighter shimmering purple pearl, and accented with light tracings of lavender.
Flecked Autumn
Featuring deep hues
of rich light and dark blue marble with tones of russet, our Flecked Autumn is
an exceptional color whether featured on the classic Churchill, Duro or the sleek
new 100. It is both subtle in the mixture of shades as well as vibrant. It
reflects the feeling of a typical crisp August day in the English countryside. |
Duro Resin Classic finishes
From left to right:
Classic Green Our
Classic Green lives up to its name. It is everything that a marbled green color
should be. Simple, clean, and elegant. Classic Green is a mixture of deep
viridian shades mixed with olive and shimmering highlights of glowing pearl. It
is everything that an English green should be!
Bracket Brown Our Bracket Brown is a
dashing interpretation of the basic marbled brown color. Deep reddish browns
blend into a marbling of translucent tan complimented by pearl
highlights. Whether set off against the rich 18 carat solid gold trim of
the Duro, or restrained by the slim lines of the stunning model 100 and the Nelson or the tapered design of the Wellington, Bracket
Brown makes an elegant statement. Classic Fresian With gleaming white accented by rich marbled black, our Classic Frisian Duro catches the eye with an easy elegance that is both captivating and energetic. The perfect blend of fun and fashion for today's busy professional.
Classic Black You may think that
there is not much to say about our Classic Black. It is a basic black color,
the backbone of fine writing instruments. Nevertheless, if you are looking for
a pen that is the height of understated elegance, you reach for a pen rendered
in Classic Black. The sleek lines of our model 100 and Nelson, tapered lines of our Wellington or the sturdy classic shape
of the Duro and Churchill, all are portrayed to perfection in Classic Black.
