Pilot Capless Stripes Black Matte Fountain Pen

Pilot Capless Stripes Black Matte Fountain Pen

A raised linear decoration that runs along its entire length is the most prominent feature of the Pilot Capless Stripes Black Matte fountain pen compared to the other models in the Capless series. Regarding its materials and finish, this beautiful piece presents a fascinating monochrome finish formed by a matte black lacquer coating on its metal body and a PVD plating of the same color on its ornamental details.

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.
