Anyone know what this is?

Obsession blue ink?

Is it just Florida Blue or another color entirely?

To me on the basis of this it looks to be Florida blue.

Actually based on that it looks like "Inspired Blue" (aka South Seas Blue)

Which is unfortunate ...

Hard to remember which is which. Bit silly naming scheme if you ask me as they don't really relate to the colour

I'm not 100% sure, but if the colour of the pen, case, bottle label and box is anything to go by it looks more like Florida Blue than Inspired Blue. Inspired Blue is more of a turquoise shade. :)

Yes, this is just a limited re-labelling of Serenity Blue, released in 2015 IIRC, to match the Blue Obsession pen range.

Either way it is just a re-labeling so I guess nothing to be excited about either way. I was hoping this was a new Waterman ink that would be something like their take on Blue Velvet or Sapphire.

Meh.

Thanks all. No wonder I never heard anything about it.

The Waterman web page literally says: "Ink Color Inspired Blue".

How strange. Mine was sold as a version of Serenity Blue. Perhaps they did two versions in the LE range?

"Obsession" sounds like a name for a perfume.

You are absolutely correct:

Even the bottle could pass for an ink bottle... heheheh
