The Pilot Capless Luxury LS Black Matte is designed for professionals who value functionality, subtlety, and precision in their writing tools. This pen combines a dual-action retractable system with a minimalist design focused on comfort and silence.

Design and concept

This model features a deep matte black finish, officially referred to in Japan as 「マットブラック」 (*Matto Burakku*). While it appears completely black at first glance, under certain lighting conditions it reveals a subtle blue undertone. The matte surface reduces reflections, giving the pen a discreet yet modern appearance. A redesigned push button and curved ring ensure smooth operation and a balanced aesthetic.

Functionality and filling system

The Luxury & Silent mechanism combines two actions: one click to extend the 18K gold nib, and a gentle twist to retract it without any noise. The nib is protected by an internal airtight shutter when not in use. This model is compatible with Pilot ink cartridges and the CON-40 converter (included), offering a convenient and clean filling experience.

What’s included

Each unit includes a Pilot Capless Luxury LS Black Matte Fountain Pen, one black ink cartridge, and one CON-40 converter. It is presented in a secure and elegant gift box.

Additionally, you'll receive a surprise gift from Inktraveler, carefully selected to enhance your writing experience.

Brand history and philosophy

Pilot was founded in Tokyo in 1918 by two Japanese naval engineers, Ryosuke Namiki and Masao Wada, who aimed to create a fountain pen that could withstand the marine environment. This led to the birth of the first PILOT pen and the start of a brand inspired by the guiding spirit of navigation—the pilot.

Over the past century, Pilot has upheld five core values:

• Sansha Teiritsu (三者鼎立) – Balance between manufacturer, retailer, and user.
• Ukiwa Seishin – Solidarity in all relationships.
• Nankan Toppa (難関突破) – Overcoming challenges with determination.
• Ichinichi Ishiin – Continuous improvement, day by day.
• Sishei Shinken – Full commitment: nothing is impossible with dedication.
