Video-Review: TWSBI Diamond 580 RGT II

Having reviewed the TWSBI Diamond 580 series before, I was intrigued by this version featuring rose gold plating. It’s a refined addition to the classic, transparent design, offering a touch of warmth and luxury without losing its utilitarian charm.

The TWSBI Diamond 580 RGT II White Fountain Pen is again a piece of functional design that features TWSBI’s signature piston-filling mechanism, which holds a generous ink capacity and allows users to observe the ink level through its clear, faceted barrel.

TWSBI’s roots in Taiwanese craftsmanship shine through, reflecting a balance of functionality and aesthetic minimalism, influenced by cultural values of modern precision and simplicity. This pen, with its thoughtful colouring update, continues that tradition beautifully.

Before we hop into the review, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Appelboompennen for supporting the review of this pen. You can also buy the pen in their webshop (no affiliate – just a friendly pointer).

Check out the video-review below, which is as always preceded by some quick facts. Again, I hope the review is helpful and that you enjoy watching it!

    I really enjoyed reading your review of one of my favorite Twsbi products! I’m not sure if I’ve missed a new release from them in a while, but I think the only one I haven’t bought in the last three or four years was that iceberg blue 580. It was so similar to other ones I had that I didn’t feel the need to get it.
