Nella sua vita la [[OMAS]] si è contraddistinta per una notevole capacità di innovazione tecnica e qualità produttiva, risultando probabilmente in questo superiore a qualunque altra azienda italiana. Non si può dire però che abbia particolarmente brillato per capacità di innovazione stilistica, perché tutte le sue penne più famose, per quanto spesso più belle e qualitativamente superiori agli originali, mostrano sempre in maniera evidente un forte tasso di imitazione delle caratteristiche stilistiche di penne di altre marche. Nonostante questo la qualità assoluta dei prodotti [[OMAS]], la capacità di creare imitazioni migliori degli originali, ed in particolare la raffinatezza dei modelli in celluloide, rende le penne di questa marca fra le più ricercate dai collezionisti.

During its history [[OMAS]] made some considerable technical innovations and always had a very high production quality, making pens that were probably the best in the Italian production. And also if their more famous model are almost always showing a clear imitation of the stylistic characteristics of foreign models, they were often more beautiful and better quality than the originals. The absolute quality of the [[OMAS]] production, and the refinement of the celluloid used by this brand, makes [[OMAS]] pens among the most sought after by collectors.
