50 years ago, Pilot introduced the world’s first retractable fountain pen. The Pilot Capless fountain pen is well known for its unique mechanism that allows the nib to retract into the barrel when it is not in use.
To commemorate the milestone set by the Pilot Capless, the Japanese manufacturer of writing instruments has launched its first wooden edition of the pen. The Pilot Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Capless pen is carved from maple wood and accented with 18K gold.
The pen combines Pilot’s innovative writing technology with a minimalist yet exquisite design that will capture the hearts of pen cognoscente and fine pen collectors. Each limited edition pen comes elegantly packaged in a matching wooden box with five pieces of ink cartridges and a unique serial number plate. The Pilot Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Capless pen is limited to only 900 pieces worldwide and will be available from mid-October.
