At the heart of the Pilot Capless experience lies its patented mechanism:

  • Instant Activation: A single click of the push-button extends or retracts the nib. It's the perfect tool for quick notes, signatures, or any use requiring immediate responsiveness.

  • Advanced Nib Protection: An integrated airtight shutter automatically protects the nib when it's retracted. This ingenious mechanism prevents the ink from drying out and ensures impeccable cleanliness, guaranteeing perfect writing every time the nib is extended.

  • One-Handed Operation: Ideal for professionals, students, or anyone on the go, the Capless frees up your other hand, making the writing experience smoother and more efficient.

Superior Writing Quality and Customization

The Pilot Capless is not just innovative; it also offers a luxurious writing experience and the ability to customize it:

  • 18-Karat Gold Nib: Each Capless pen is equipped with an 18-karat gold nib, ensuring exceptional flexibility and an incomparable glide on paper. Enjoy fluid, precise, and richly tactile writing.

  • Variety of Nibs and Interchangeable Finishes: The Pilot Capless stands out with its easily interchangeable nib units. All replacement nib units are made of 18-karat gold and are available in three distinct finishes to suit your preferences:

    • 18K Rhodium-Plated (Silver Color): Offers a modern and brilliant silver-colored nib. Available in Extra Fine (EF), Fine (F), Medium (M), Broad (B), and Stub (STUB) sizes.
