Together with the Pix a second stylus for the Galaxy Note 4 appeared in 2014, the e-StarWalker; it belongs to the StarWalker series.

Montblanc presented the Cruise Collection in March 2014 with the year’s novelties, as a plainly styled series of ballpoints and rollerballs (Fountain Pen Network, March 2014). In shape it closely follows the discontinued Generation. At launch there were black, white, coral orange and Atlantic Blue, in the shops from summer 2014; burgundy followed in 2015, as did a dark antique blue. Whether Atlantic Blue and antique blue are two shades or one colour with two pairs of numbers is open.
The series also included the Pix, a rollerball whose refill could be exchanged for a stylus refill for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Montblanc announced it together with Samsung in September 2014 (Fountain Pen Network, September 2014); it works with the inductive pen technology of that phone, not by capacitive touch like the ScreenWriters.
Every writing instrument has its own row. The model catalogue lists the series from 2014; in April 2016 it was still shown on Montblanc’s German website. Photos exist for only some of the pens, on external pages, marked ↗ and opening in a new tab.
Colours of 2014 2014 9 writing instruments
Black, white, coral orange and Atlantic Blue, plus the Pix in black. White is documented in the shops in August 2014, Atlantic Blue in October 2014; the number of the Atlantic Blue ballpoint is not publicly documented, and the model catalogue does not list this colour.

Notes and sources
List price 2026: Montblanc no longer offers the series in 2026, so this column shows a dash.
Year: “Series: from 2014” means that only the period of the series is documented. The model catalogue gives “2014 – 2015”; 2015 is the year in which the catalogue ends, not the end of the series.
Sources: the model catalogue, the manufacturer’s data on montblanc.com, Fountain Pen Network, Penexchange and — for numbers — dealer data.
