Overview

Pilot Capless Fountain Pen in blue.

A turned lacquer body with chrome 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. It writes with a Pilot nib in 18k gold rhodium plated, filled by cartridge / converter and a click-action retractable mechanism, with no cap. For reference, with a body 13 mm in diameter. Official Pilot product, backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Pilot's capless fountain pens feature a retractable system that provides fluidity and comfort when writing. Its 18k rhodium-plated gold nib is hidden inside the body of the pen and therefore cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is operated and retracts with a simple click, proving that innovation still has a place in writing instruments. Available in many colors!

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.

Totale satisfaction

Ce produit est parfaitement à la hauteur de mes attentes .
Le concept de la plume rétractable est une idée géniale . En ce qui me concerne , je n'utilisais plus mes stylos à plume au bureau car on ne remet pas forcément le capuchon à chaque fois , l'encre sèche , ce n'est pas pratique .
Avec le pilot capless , c'est top .
La plume est très douce (L) et donc d'un grand confort d'écriture . Très belle finition de l'objet . Satisfaction à 100%

Pilot Retractable Fountain Pen

The retractable nib is a most unusual idea and takes getting used to, so as not to put it away with the nib exposed. The nib is smooth and writes without blobs or gaps. The area where you hold the pen to write has an unusual feel and may take getting used to. It is a pen I would you for shorter writing sessions.
