Pilot Capless Decimo Burgundy Fountain Pen
The Pilot Capless Decimo Burgundy Fountain Pen combines the iconic retractable engineering of the Capless series with a deep burgundy finish that adds warmth and distinction. Slimmer and lighter than the standard Capless model, the Decimo is ideal for writers seeking everyday practicality with refined Japanese design.
Concept and design
The introduction of the Pilot Capless marked a turning point in fountain pen history. By removing the traditional cap and integrating a push-button retractable system, Pilot created a writing instrument that deploys instantly with a single click.
The Decimo version features more streamlined proportions than earlier Capless designs. Its name refers to being the tenth evolution within this capless series. Thinner and lighter, it offers a more agile and balanced feel in hand, especially appreciated by those who prefer slimmer writing instruments.
The burgundy finish introduces depth and character, balancing elegance and subtle boldness. The distinctive front clip not only secures the pen to a pocket or notebook, but also guides correct finger placement for comfortable writing.
Performance and filling system
Equipped with a retractable 18K gold nib, the Capless Decimo delivers smooth, consistent ink flow and precise control. The internal sealing mechanism protects the nib when retracted, helping prevent ink from drying out. It operates with Pilot cartridges or a converter (not included), allowing full compatibility with bottled inks.
Package contents
The pen comes in its original Pilot presentation box. A converter is not included. At Inktraveler, we add a complimentary ink bottle so you can begin writing immediately. (Product images are indicative; slight variations may occur.)

Brand heritage
Since 1963, the Capless has represented one of Pilot’s most important technical achievements. As the first mass-produced retractable fountain pen, it combined Japanese mechanical precision with everyday practicality. The Decimo line refines that innovation in a lighter, slimmer form while preserving the reliability that defines the series.
"One click of precision, in a tone full of character."
