The Caran d'Ache 849 Fluorescent Yellow Ballpoint Pen transforms one of Switzerland's most iconic everyday writing instruments through an unapologetically bold color treatment. Built on the classic 849 platform that has defined Caran d'Ache's entry-level luxury lineup for decades, the fluorescent yellow finish gives the pen a distinctly modern and energetic character while preserving the precise engineering and industrial simplicity that made the model famous.

Originally inspired by the clean geometry of Caran d'Ache's Fixpencil mechanical pencils, the 849 has become one of the most recognizable ballpoint pen designs in the world. Its lightweight aluminum body, hexagonal profile, and reliable push-button mechanism have earned it a reputation as one of the best everyday writing pens available at any price point.

Craftsmanship & Design

The 849's aluminum hexagonal body remains one of the defining elements of the design. Lightweight yet durable, the pen feels exceptionally solid for its size while maintaining excellent portability for daily carry. The fluorescent yellow finish gives the pen a vivid, almost industrial appearance that contrasts beautifully against the polished metal clip and button.

Despite its affordability, the construction quality reflects Caran d'Ache's longstanding Swiss manufacturing standards. The tolerances remain tight throughout the body and mechanism, and the matte lacquered finish provides a pleasant tactile feel while resisting fingerprints and handling wear remarkably well.

The hexagonal shape also serves a functional purpose, preventing the pen from rolling across desks or work surfaces while creating a naturally stable grip during writing.

Writing Experience

The 849 Fluorescent Yellow Ballpoint Pen uses Caran d'Ache's acclaimed Goliath refill, widely regarded as one of the best standard ballpoint refills currently in production. The refill delivers smooth, consistent ink flow with excellent longevity and minimal skipping, giving the pen a noticeably more refined writing experience than typical disposable ballpoints.

The lightweight aluminum construction makes the pen especially comfortable for extended everyday use, while the compact proportions allow it to disappear easily into a pocket, notebook loop, or daily bag without feeling delicate or disposable.

Brand Heritage

Founded in Geneva in 1915, Caran d'Ache has built its reputation around Swiss precision manufacturing and functional industrial design. While the brand produces highly elaborate luxury writing instruments and artist materials, the 849 remains one of its most enduring and recognizable creations.

The Fluorescent collection introduces a more playful and contemporary visual identity to the classic platform without compromising the reliability and practicality that have made the 849 a longtime favorite among students, designers, professionals, and everyday writers alike.

Quick and Fantastic Service!
I include the additional protection for all of my high dollar purchases. This was the first time I have ever had to use it. I had an extension to provide additional screens to my laptop. Unfortunately, it developed an issue. Submitting a claim was easy and straightforward. UPS came the next day to pick it up and I was notified in just a couple of days that it was received. Only a couple of days after that, I received an email stating that my laptop screens were not repairable and I was given an Amazon card for the entire purchase price. I could not have been more pleased, as the purchase price was $599 and was a huge splurge for me in the first place. I was able to quickly replace the screens and back in business in no time. I would recommend this protection plan for any high dollar purchase.

They paid on the policy
I bought a four year replacement policy on my modem and two years into its lifespan it stopped working. I trouble shot with the company but we eventually determined it was dead. I contacted Asurion, they sent me a pre-paid address label, I mailed the defective modem, they found that it was dead and deposited a credit in the amount of the original purchase in my Amazon account, all within a few days. I am quite happy with the service. Just so you know, the reimbursement is through a gift card at Amazon which you can draw down against your purchases; it is not CASH.

Nearly 3 years later, Asurion had my back :)
In Nov of 2017 I bought a $900 35" Ultra wide PC monitor for Gaming and Work. It was made by a company called AOC/Envision and I bought it through amazon. The monitor had a 3 year warranty that I was still within but they said no to a defect that they said was only covered for 1 year, even though it wasn't the type of defect that was only covered for 1 year. LUCKILY, back in 2017 I had purchased an Asurion insurance policy with this monitor. I told an Asurion agent in a instant messaging chat window on the Asurion website my problem and she sent me postage in an email. I shipped my product and in 5 days from shipping it I received a text telling me that it was beyond repair and I would be getting a FULL REFUND! Not 2hr later, in an email, there it was, an amazon gift card code for $900 I will not be making any big purchases without an Asurion plan going forward. Happy customer Don't buy anything AOC

Received a refund
I purchased the 4-year protection plan offered at the time I purchased a refurbished printer. Seven months later the printer failed, so I went searching through my Amazon orders for my protection plan and located it. Once I created an account on Asurion's website it showed the the plan but it was not attached to a specific purchase, so I had to locate and upload the invoice for my printer. Once that was done, the policy still wasn't linked for some unknown reason. I proceeded to start the claim anyway stating that my printer had failed and I received an immediate reply stating that a box would be shipped to me for me to return the printer for inspection/repair. After a week I hadn't seen any additional info so I called their support phone #. The service was very good and they had to create a new case to replace the one I started online, and they assured me that a shipping box would be sent. About a week later I did receive the box with a prepaid shipping label to return the item by UPS. I packaged the printer up and sent it off. I received updates stating that they received it, were looking at it and attempting repairs. Everything appeared to be going along well, then out of the blue they sent me a notification of a full refund in the form of an Amazon gift card. Overall I'm satisfied and I'm glad I purchased the coverage.
