Launched in 1987, the White M100 paired white resin with black trim, eventually becoming something of a classic thanks to its unique look. At the time, white pens were uncommon, and its black anodized trim stood out amongst Pelikan’s fine writing instruments. It would earn the nickname “Stormtrooper” because of its resemblance to characters from George Lucas’ 1977 film. The White M100 was discontinued in 1993 due to poor sales and we haven’t seen anything quite like it since. Now, thirty seven years later, Pelikan has introduced what some are already calling the “Dirty Stormtrooper.” The new M670 Warm Grey is different; it doesn’t use a typical white resin and departs from Pelikan’s usual trim conventions, employing a black PVD coating. It has its own distinctive model designation, but still feels familiar. While I’m not keen on the resin color, I appreciate the innovative approach this pen represents. Although I find the model a bit forgettable, I’m curious about the possibilities it might unlock. Keep reading for a detailed look at the M670 and my thoughts on the line’s potential.
