Pilot Capless Red Graphite Fountain Pen

Pilot Capless Red Graphite Fountain Pen

The Pilot Capless Graphite Red fountain pen is one of the numerous models that make up Pilot's Capless line and a noticeable writing instrument composed of a stylized metal body with graphite red lacquer and rhodium-plated metal decorative elements. A striking color combination that enhances the attractive appearance of this fabulous piece.

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.
