Overview

Pilot Capless Fountain Pen in black.

A turned lacquer body with gold trim. The Capless line opened in 1963 and in 1966 the design took the Okochi Memorial Technology Prize for the invention and for getting it into production. A Pilot nib in 18k gold, filled by cartridge / converter and a click-action retractable mechanism, with no cap. In the hand, with a body 13 mm in diameter. Piece with official Pilot warranty.

The iconic Pilot Retractable fountain pen has a black body with gold accents and features an 18-karat gold retractable nib. It actuates and retracts with a simple click, a clear sign that innovation still has a place in writing instruments. Each pen is presented in a nice gift box.

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 cartridge / converter; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.

Does the nib dry out when there is no cap to close?

No. A shutter inside the head stays closed under spring pressure and the nib pushes it open on the way out, so the nib sits in a sealed chamber whenever it is retracted.

How is the lacquer 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 lacquer is factory-dyed in the same tone for the entire series.

What warranty does it carry?

It includes 3 years of official Pilot warranty.

Un stylo fonctionnel au desing atypique

Un stylo emblématique de chez Pilot, au desing atypique et élégant.
La plume 18 cts glisse avec une remarquable facilité sur le papier.
Conçu pour la prise de notes, le Capless remplit son rôle à merveille.
Quant au service d'Iguanz Sell, je ne peut que le recommander, une fois de plus 👍

Un bien bel objet

Ce Pilot Capless noir et or a beaucoup de classe. Sa plume fine glisse agréablement sur le papier et il est assez léger pour permettre de longs moments d'écriture sans fatigue. J'avais déjà acheté un Capless il y a quelques années et j'avais trouvé ce système très astucieux.
