Pilot Capless Fountain Pens – A Luxury Retractable Range

By Midnight Indigo Leave a Comment | Last Updated October 25, 2020

Pilot played a large part in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, to celebrate they released Capless Pens. With their retractable nibs Pilot Capless Fountain Pens had one of the most complex mechanisms that had ever been made. Through precision engineering & innovation the early Capless pens had a twist action retractable nib. The Pilot Capless Fountain Pen (AKA Vanishing Point in the US) has evolved & now operates using a push button that retracts the nib into the barrel, this closes an airtight seal which prevents the ink drying out as well as protecting the nib.

Pilot is renowned for innovation & quality, they manufacture products around the world honing technological expertise. Today Pilot Capless Fountain Pens are available in a variety of colours with either 18ct gold or a rhodium trim, a silvery white hard wearing metal that’s a member of the platinum group. They have 18ct gold nibs in a choice of fine, medium or broad, they are supplied with a converter or can be refilled using IC50 ink cartridges.

There are 3 exiting new colours in the original range

Pilot Capless Fountain Pen Black & White

These pens have a white barrel & a smooth black satin trim. They have the same 18ct gold nib but it’s coated with black PVD. Short for Physical Vapor Deposition PVD is an environmentally friendly process that helps increase wear & resistance against corrosion.
