[[OMAS]] was between first Italian companies to move production to celluloid between the late '20s and early '30s. The company produced its fountain pen in classic colors as jade green or lapis blue as well as other interesting variations of marbled colors. Among this early celluloid production some pens stand out, similar to the previous [[Duofold]] imitations, but with tapered ends, probably born in the early 30s years with the establishment of the ''[[streamlined]]'' style; only a few examples of this production are known.

Il vero punto di svolta nella produzione della [[OMAS]] avvenne infatti nel 1932, quando venne introdotto quello che resterà per vari decenni uno dei modelli di punta dell'azienda, la [[Omas Extra]], realizzata in celluloide sfaccettata, con [[caricamento a levetta]] e dotata di una vera molto ampia sul cappuccio, decorata con un motivo a forma di greca. Prodotta in quattro diverse dimensioni e lanciata con lo slogan ''creazione di artista e di scienziato'', venne accompagnata da una campagna pubblicitaria molto estesa.
