Made in Japan with over a century of Pilot expertise, the Custom 743 is a favorite among enthusiasts of traditional, refined writing tools.
Concept and design
This model features a medium-to-large sized body in glossy black resin, with gold-plated accents for a distinguished look. It is equipped with a 14-karat gold size 15 nib that delivers an exceptionally smooth and controlled writing experience. In this particular version, it uses a Posting (PO) nib, designed with a slight upward curve to achieve the best writing angle for a superfine line. Originally developed for writing Japanese postal cards, the Posting nib is perfect for detailed writing, tight spaces, and precise, fine lettering.

The Pilot Custom 743 uses a cartridge-converter system, offering flexibility with your favorite inks. It comes pre-installed with the high-capacity CON-70 converter, which provides ample ink storage for uninterrupted writing sessions. This system makes the Custom 743 an excellent companion for daily notes, professional signatures, or extended journaling.
