Overview

Pilot Custom 823 Amber Fountain Pen.

A turned resin body with gold trim. The Custom range opened in 1971 on a premise Pilot has kept since: rather than one house feel, offer a set of bodies and writing characters a buyer chooses to suit their own hand. It mounts a Pilot nib in 14k gold, filled by piston filler and a screw-on cap. The piece measures 149 mm capped with a body 12.5 mm in diameter. Official Pilot product, backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

The Custom 823 fountain pen is one of Pilot's best sellers. It features a simple yet elegant design, making it ideal for everyday writing. It features a translucent smoked amber body and cap, a 14 karat gold nib, matching gold trim and a vacuum filling system.

Questions & Answers

Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?

All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.

What filling system does it use?

It is filled by piston filler: the base of the body is turned to drive the internal piston and draw ink straight from a bottle, with no cartridge or converter.

How is the resin cared for?

Wipe it with a soft slightly damp cloth, avoiding solvents and abrasive products.

Is the colour uniform across the whole production?

Yes, the resin is factory-dyed in the same tone for the entire series.

What warranty does it carry?

It includes 3 years of official Pilot warranty.

Pilot Custom 823 - ¡Me encanta!

Llevaba tiempo detrás de la Pilot Custom 823 y por fin la tengo. Me gusta mucho: construcción sólida, pistón que carga genial y plumín medium suave y con buen flujo (me hubiera gustado fine, pero no había).

Es cómoda para escribir mucho rato y tiene ese toque especial que la hace única.

¡Muy recomendable!

Magnífica atención del equipo de Iguana.

Gracias.

Hola Mari Luz,

Qué alegría que por fin tengas esa Custom 823 en tus manos!
Es una 'todoterreno' del confort. Aunque no tuviéramos el F en ese momento, nos alegra que con el punto M estés disfrutando de esa suavidad y flujo tan característicos de Pilot.

¡Gracias por tu paciencia y por tu recomendación!

Un cordial saludo,

Une première expérience chez Pilot très satisfaisante. Un stylo qualitatif, équipé du fameux système de remplissage sous vide, permettant de contenir une grande qtté d'encre. La plume quant à elle est assez souple, au regard des autres modèles contemporains. Le débit est généreux, et la plume 14k, majestueuse.
Une expérience positive également chez Iguana Sell, comme d'habitude 👍

Excellent stylo

Formidable instrument d'écriture, équilibré,
confortable même s'il est un tout petit peu lourd, embarquant une réserve d'encre permettant de longues séances d'écriture ; la grande plume Pilot n. 15 mérite sa réputation : extraordinaire de douceur et de précision. Je suis tellement enthousiasmé que je viens de commander le grand frère, le 845 Urushi rouge !

Understated Luxury

The Custom 823 has got classic styling with a nice twist with the amber/brown body. It writes very smoothly without a skip. I have a medium. Moderate wetness which suits me well. I don’t like gushers especially for note-taking on cheaper paper. This is becoming my go to pen and that’s in good company with much more expensive pens.
