Pilot Custom 743 Architect Nibmeister Fountain Pen

Pilot Custom 743 Architect Fountain Pen

(Pilot Custom 743 Architect Pluma Estilográfica)

The Pilot Custom 743 is one of the most versatile and respected models from the Japanese brand. In this special edition, the nib has been manually ground into an Architect profile, offering a writing experience that is both precise and artistically expressive.

The Architect nib of this Pilot Custom 743 starts from a size 15 Coarse nib. This nib behaves in the opposite way to a traditional stub, producing broad strokes on horizontal lines and fine strokes on vertical lines. This variation brings character and rhythm to your writing, ideal for headers, artistic expressions, or anyone who enjoys a distinctive stroke on paper.

This particular modification was made by renowned Spanish nibmeister José Munuera (@niblab), whose skilled work on nibs from multiple brands has earned him wide recognition among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

Design and concept

The glossy black resin body with gold trim follows the elegant and classic aesthetic of the 743 series. Its medium-large format offers balance and comfort even during long writing sessions. The pairing of a traditional body with a highly specialized nib makes this pen stand out among collectors and discerning writers alike.

Functionality and filling system

This pen uses Pilot’s dual filling system, accepting both proprietary cartridges and converters. It comes equipped with the CON-70 converter, known for its high ink capacity and reliable performance.
