Pilot Capless Black Rhodium Fountain Pen

Pilot Capless Black Rhodium Fountain Pen

Its metal construction covered in black lacquer with a glossy finish and its contrast with its ornamental rhodium-plated metal details constitute the main hallmarks, in the aesthetic and material spheres, of the Pilot Capless Negro Rodio fountain pen, one of the multiple models or finishes that make up Pilot's Capless collection.

The Pilot Capless model is world famous and is one of the best-selling products of the Japanese brand Pilot. The key to its success lies, among other factors, in the fact that it was the first fully retractable fountain pen on the market. Launched on the market in 1964, since 1972 it has also been known by the nickname "The Vanishing Point". Although initially the first Capless fountain pens were activated by a rotating mechanism, they currently have a button that, when pressed, extracts the nib or retracts it into the body. A simple system very similar to that of ballpoint pens, but which has revolutionized, due to its functionality, the world of handwriting with a fountain pen.

Redounding to this efficiency and practicality, Pilot Capless fountain pens have a cartridge or converter loading system that serves to feed ink to their nib, equipped with a highly original shape and made of solid 18-carat gold coated with rhodium to maintain chromatic and material uniformity with its metallic decorations. This fantastic element is available in fine (F) and medium (M) thicknesses.

In terms of presentation, the fountain pens from the Capless collection come in a modern individual case.
