Autocross¿ Pocket Pen, Cutting-edge design and high performance in a compact size. Just like the 1930s-era luxury automobiles that inspired it, our Autocross pen is all voluptuous curves, supple leather and engraved, polished chrome for an incomparable look and feel. The compact tapered shape with wide barrel rests comfortably in the hand, and slips easily in a pocket or purse. A unique bi-directional rotation system advances and retracts the ballpoint with a simple twist. Take one for a spin today. All Cross products are shipped in boutique-quality gift packaging that you'll be proud to give as a gift. For more than 158 years, Cross has re-invented writing instruments, combining design ingenuity with jewelry-quality craftsmanship. We were America's first manufacturer of quality writing instruments, and that means that we've been making pens people use, depend on and enjoy for a long time.
