The Pilot Custom 743 is a true classic among fountain pens. Its elegant black body and meticulous construction make it one of the most balanced and refined models in Pilot’s entire catalog. Manufactured in Japan with more than a century of tradition and expertise, the Custom 743 has been highlighted even in Pilot’s own television commercials, demonstrating its prestige and reliability.
Concept and design
The Pilot Custom 743 features a mid-to-large sized body with a deep black resin finish and gold-plated trim, creating a sophisticated, timeless look. Its size 15, 14-karat gold nib delivers a smooth, consistent, and pleasant writing experience, suitable for everyday use or extended writing sessions. This Fine Medium (FM) nib is an excellent choice for writers who want a line thickness between a fine and a medium, offering the best of both worlds for versatility and precision.
Functionality and filling system
Like other large Custom models, the 743 uses a cartridge-converter system, giving you flexibility in ink choices. It comes pre-installed with Pilot’s high-capacity CON-70 converter, ensuring a generous ink reserve and reliable, uninterrupted flow, whether you write occasionally or for long periods. This makes the Custom 743 a perfect partner for daily note-taking, journaling, or even signature writing with a professional touch.
Package contents
The set includes the Pilot Custom 743 Black fountain pen with a Fine, Medium or Broad nibs, the CON-70 converter pre-installed, Pilot’s official presentation case, and an Inktraveler courtesy ink sample selected to enhance your writing experience.

Le stylo est fidèle à sa réputation. Plume F très fine, sans aucun défaut avec un débit très régulier. Par ailleurs, le colis envoyé par Inktraveler était très soigné, avec un encrier supplémentaire offert. Cette attention a été très appréciée.

En primer lugar quería dar las gracias por todos los detalles tan originales y bonitos del packaging que refleja su pasión por lo que hacen y por la carta de agradecimiento ..y decirles gracias a ustedes por disponer de esas estupendas plumas japonesas para que podamos comprarlas.<br />
En cuanto a la pluma es simplemente extraordinaria, calidad de construcción por los cuatro costados y un plumin tamaño 15 (F) que se desliza de maravilla con un trazo que enamora desde la primera palabra escrita ya sea en Latino o en Arabe.<br />
Muy contento con la pluma y con la experiencia de compra en inktraveler.<br />
Gracias.
