Capless | Pilot

Capless.

The world’s only push-button retractable fountain pen

Without a cap, a simple push retracts the nib behind a tiny flap to ensure perfect watertightness. A cult classic, its line has not aged a day in sixty years and each new version is an event to behold.

A unique pen, at the forefront of technology

The Capless retractable fountain pen is as practical as a ballpoint pen, but much more elegant. The Capless was first produced in Japan in 1963, and the retractable version was created for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Now legendary, it won the High Tech Award in 1965 and has since conquered the world and all those who love the charm of writing with a Japanese quality pen.

A pen as unique as you

Imagine a fountain pen that adapts to your personal rhythm and preferences, that you can use wherever and whenever you want, just like a ballpoint pen. Imagine a pen with a push-button that allows you to extend or retract the nib at any time with the flick of a wrist.
Imagine a pen where you never have to worry about misplacing or losing the cap.
This dream has now become a reality: the PILOT Capless.
With the PILOT Capless, you can write your life the way you want.
Its retractable 18 carat gold nib is a patented system, including a protective shutter that prevents ink from ever leaking or drying out, making it unique. This revolutionary pen offers practicality, finesse and elegance in more than 30 finishes, to conquer every type of writing.

Capless

You dreamed of a pen with personalized decoration, Pilot made it.

With the SE collection, the Custom Heritage pens and the Capless are now dressed in a sumptuous, unique marbled finery. Indeed made from luxury polyurethane resin imitating marble (marble tone resin), each model is different, thanks to the marbled pattern which is never the same, as in real stone veins.

Stripe

Capless

For 100 years, Pilot’s creativity has not weakened, and each new look of Capless, its flagship retractable fountain pen, surprises us.

The last-born one does not derogate from the repeated successes of the Japanese brand, not only by the refined finish of its particular coating but also by the originality of its relief decoration, long gadroons shaped one by one.

These unexpected curves elegantly highlight the perfection of its pure, timeless line, while giving it a certain softness. The special polishing of its rhodium-plated brass body brings it an unprecedented silvery-pearly appearance, half way between matte and glossy. A luxurious and chicissime version of this major object of High Technology.

LS

Capless

The Capless LS (Luxury & Silent) fountain pens are clear examples of innovation and finesse.

The pens within this new Capless series are characterised by a revisited design, intended to make the retractable mechanism more silent. One click makes the pen’s nib come out and a soft twist retracts the nib back in. This two-in-one system required a change of shape of the press button, which now incorporates a small and discreet fin, and a ring with a curved profile. These changes have in no way altered the traditional elegance of its lines, but have added some contemporary flair.

This new model is available in a matte black look or in glossy lacquer version, with rhodium-plated attributes, available in black, dark blue and purple. The pens are delivered in an elegant black exclusive box with a black leather case and an Iroshizuku ink in the Take-Sumi colour.

Capless.
