Pilot Capless Luxury LS Black Fountain Pen
The Pilot Capless Luxury LS Black is the ultimate expression of Japanese precision engineering in writing instruments. This luxurious fountain pen features a deep glossy black lacquered body and an innovative silent retractable mechanism. With one click the nib extends, and with a gentle twist, it disappears again—quietly, elegantly, flawlessly. It is the perfect choice for professionals and design-conscious writers who appreciate efficiency and subtle luxury.
Design and concept
The Capless LS (Luxury & Silent) series redefines the writing experience with its two-in-one retractable system. A single click deploys the nib, and a smooth twist retracts it discreetly. This engineering feat required a redesigned push-button with a small lateral fin and a curved ring, preserving the elegant lines of the Capless range while adding modern functionality. The Black version stands out for its timeless lacquer finish and rhodium details, embodying discretion and strength in one.
Functionality and filling system
The internal retractable system features an airtight shutter that protects the nib when not in use—no cap needed. This pen is compatible exclusively with Pilot cartridges and the CON-40 converter (included), ensuring a reliable and easy ink refill experience.
What’s included
Each pen comes with a Pilot Capless Luxury LS Black Fountain Pen, one CON-40 converter and one black ink cartridge. It is presented in a stylish and protective gift box.
Additionally, you'll receive a surprise gift from Inktraveler, carefully selected to enrich your writing experience.
