Sailor 1911 Casual L Galaxy Supernova Crimson Fountain Pen

Sailor 1911 Casual L Galaxy Supernova Crimson Fountain Pen

The Sailor 1911 Casual L Galaxy Supernova Crimson Fountain Pen pairs a shimmering red resin body with a black nib and matching metal details. Part of Sailor’s Galaxy Series, it brings a celestial theme to an everyday writing instrument. It is suited to writers who enjoy a distinctive pen for notes, correspondence or journaling.

Galaxy design in Supernova Crimson

The Supernova Crimson colour draws its name from the brilliance of an exploding star. Fine, stardust-like shimmer in the red resin gives the pen its visual character, while the black metal parts frame the colour with a darker contrast. The result is a design that invites a closer look without losing the practical purpose of a writing instrument.

Sailor specifies PMMA resin for the pen and a black ion-plated finish for its metal parts. The shimmer belongs to the resin’s appearance; the black colour of the metal parts comes from their finish. Together, they give this Galaxy model a coordinated look from the body to the nib.

Black ion-plated stainless steel nib

This fountain pen has a stainless steel nib with black ion plating. The black surface is a coating, while the nib itself is made of steel. Sailor says its artisans finish each nib by hand, applying the experience gained with its gold nibs to create a smooth writing experience in steel.

Cartridge or converter filling

The 1911 Casual L uses a cartridge or converter filling system. A cartridge can be replaced when empty; a compatible converter lets you fill the pen from bottled ink. This gives you a choice of filling methods and the opportunity to select an ink colour for different writing projects.

Frequently asked questions

Is the black nib made of gold? No. It is made of stainless steel and has a black ion-plated finish.

Can I use bottled ink? Yes, with a compatible converter. The pen also accepts cartridges, and two are included in the package.

Does the stated diameter include the clip? Yes. Sailor gives the dimensions as Ø 18 × 141 mm including the clip, so the 18 mm figure should not be treated as the barrel diameter alone.

Sailor and the Galaxy Series

Founded in Japan in 1911, Sailor has a long history of making writing instruments and nibs. The Galaxy Series brings that experience to a steel-nib fountain pen, using colours and shimmering resin to suggest different views of the cosmos.

Supernova Crimson is the red interpretation in the collection. Its contrast of bright resin and black details gives the pen a distinct identity, while the choice of cartridge or converter makes it adaptable to the way you prefer to write.
