Released in 2022:

25 years ago... Retro51 introduced a new pen — the Tornado™. These pens were made in three lacquer colors: red, blue and green. Little did we know the impact that these retractable rollerballs with a knurled top would have. Since 1997, we have expanded the Tornado collection to include additional colors and new series such as the Vintage Metalsmith, Brass Classics, Rescue line, Poppers, Dealer Exclusives and licensed partnerships.

We are electrified to add a new Tornado special release to our collection and yours—the Origin. In honor of the first three Tornado pens, this pen is made up of a series of horizontal lines cascading down the cream barrel in the three original colors. The pen is finished with chrome accents and a finial that includes the same style as the barrel with a red 25 in the center. This pen is a must have for fans from the beginning, a great introduction for newer fans, and a soon to be keepsake for everyone.

This is a limited edition of 997 rollerballs so make sure to add one to your collection before they fly off the shelves. Do not miss out on your chance to see where it all began with the Tornado Origin.

This product is available exclusively through authorized dealers

Grace E. ★★★★★

Twenty-five years of Tornado pens and this 2022 edition still nails that classic retractable feel. The green lacquer is rich and glossy, and it’s been a smooth writer right out of the box.

Zoe K. ★★★★★

The lacquer finish on this one is a deep, rich green that shifts in the light — looks even better in person than on screen. It's a solid, well-balanced pen that's been my daily writer for a month now, and the retro vibe from the 25th anniversary release is a nice touch.

Amelia B. ★★★★★

The green lacquer on this one is gorgeous in person, exactly the kind of rich color that made me nostalgic for 90s pens. It’s a retractable rollerball that feels solid in the hand, and the celebratory 25-year angle is a nice touch for a collector like me.
