Pilot - Capless Black Matte

The world's inaugural retractable fountain pen!

It took six years of dedicated research before its debut in 1963 in Tokyo. Comprising solely of 18 components, the upper body of this precision tool stands out.

Awarded the Japanese high-tech prize in 1965, this iconic pen continues its global conquest. A single click unveils the nib, while a subsequent click withdraws it, ensuring a flawless seal, even in the absence of a cap (hence the name: Capless – without a cap).

The ink remains ever-fluid, and Capless is consistently ready for use. Capless's retractable 18k gold nib is an exclusive patented system, rendering this groundbreaking pen truly one-of-a-kind.

With availability in many finishes and various nib sizes, it aims to captivate writers of all kinds.
