The clip is ruthenium-plated brass and the nib is 18K with a tiny Bat-logo.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-107301\" title=\"3b\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/geek-news.mtv.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/geek\/2013\/01\/3b.jpg?resize=575%2C289\" width=\"575\" height=\"289\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The wristwatch is based on the Montegrappa NeroUno watches, and is encased in 42mm waterproof stainless steel. The Batman logo is in the 12 o&#8217;clock position, and more bats surround the dial. The watch is powered by a Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement, and is secured to the wrist with a carbon strap with a black PVD tongue buckle.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-107306\" title=\"Capture\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/geek-news.mtv.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/geek\/2013\/01\/Capture17.jpg?resize=575%2C466\" width=\"575\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the set are the cufflinks, which\u00a0of course feature\u00a0the oval Batman logo &#8212; a 3-D look cut within a carbon fibre surface.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-107302\" title=\"6b\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/geek-news.mtv.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/geek\/2013\/01\/6b.jpg?resize=575%2C363\" width=\"575\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t overlook the rad metal box the whole deal comes in &#8212; with a jet-black and gun-metal silver finish topped with a bat symbol cut from black glass. It opens up to a 3-D Batman landscape covered in glass, and has a panel that can be removed to store all your other fine Bat-collectibles.\u00a0 In my opinion, this box is, next to the pen, probably the biggest show-stopper of the set. There&#8217;s also a special full-color Bat-booklet featuring art by Jim Lee.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a rather high-end gift for the Batman fan in your life and feel free to count yourself &#8212; but if you&#8217;re looking for the ultimate gift\u00a0for the\u00a0Bat-aficionado\u00a0who has everything, this is probably it.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find this special edition Montegrappa Batman set &#8212; limited to 1939 pieces &#8212; at your finer pen and collectible shops.
