Overview

Pilot Capless Stripes Fountain Pen in silver.

A turned metal body with rhodium 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 retractable nib 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, a clear sign that innovation still has a place in writing instruments.

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 metal cared for?

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

What warranty does it carry?

It includes 3 years of official Pilot warranty.

Der schönste Stift ever

Er liegt so weich in der Hand und sieht wunderschön aus. Er schreibt total smooth und ich bin einfach rundum begeistert. Der Clip stört null!

Hallo Anna!
Vielen Dank für diese wunderbare Rückmeldung. Es freut uns riesig, dass der Stift nicht nur optisch überzeugt, sondern auch in der Hand liegt und sich so angenehm schreibend führt. Dass selbst der Clip für Sie völlig unauffällig ist, rundet die perfekte Erfahrung ab!
Viel Freude weiterhin!

Très beau stylo

Très beau stylo à un très bon prix ! Il tient bien en main et la plume glisse aisément sur le papier. J'en suis très satisfaite.

Votre satisfaction est un véritable rayon de soleil ! Merci d'avoir su apprécier ce juste équilibre entre esthétique, prix et performance. Cette plume qui glisse avec aisance est bien la plus belle des récompenses. Merci beaucoup d'avoir choisi Iguana !

Très bien

Très bien, même si l’on peut déplorer le nouveau système de poussoir cartouche en plastique moins élégant et moins qualitatif que l'ancien

Plutôt très satisfait

Commande très satisfaisante à presque tous les points de vue.
Article qualitatif plutôt difficile à trouver vendu à très bon prix.
Envoi sécurisé par FedEx mais difficile à récupérer quand on est un particulier travaillant la semaine.
Tres bonne ecoute du service client (emails) repondant rapidement.
Seul bémol l'article n'etant pas en stock (mais non indiqué lors de l'achat) il a fallu que le shop le commande et donc il aura mis une vingtaine de jours pour arriver (Espagne- France)

Enamorada de esta pluma.

Es perfecta. Desde que la vi hace un par de años me llamó muchísimo la atención. Y es mejor aún de lo que esperaba. Estéticamente es super elegante. El peso es perfecto, ni muy ligera ni muy pesada. Se puede escribir largas horas con ella. Es muyyyy práctica, no te das cuenta hasta que tienes una pluma con estas características de lo rápido y fácil que se hace escribir de inmediato una idea, una inspiración, un frase, el comienzo de algo…le das al botón y ahí está la pluma lista para escribir. La punta que tengo es la fina, es una seda, y me sorprendió que tiene algo de flexibilidad.

Buena retráctil

No tengo muchas plumas retráctiles, pero esta es especial. Bellísima en su hechura, pues llama la atención a quien la ve. Un punto excelente, parece grueso, pero luego quedan los escritos muy resaltados.
