A color can transform an experience. The Pilot Custom 742 Deep Red maintains all the functional excellence of the 742 series, but adds a warm, deep burgundy tone that immediately sets it apart. This version is rarely found outside Japan and is a favorite among those who seek elegance with a touch of individuality.
Perfect for writers who want a refined, professional instrument with personality, without compromising Pilot’s renowned quality.
