Product Description
The Capless SE is inspired by the French word “Seul”, which means “unique”. And it is unique in the truest sense of the word. Its casing is covered with a luxurious, colorful marbled resin and shimmers in various shades of color. As with real marble, no two marbles are the same, so every Capless SE is unique in its appearance!
Modernity meets Italian renaissance in this fountain pen. The Capless SE is available in two different nib sizes, which in turn are each available in five different color variants - from mystical blue tones to flaming red nuances. Its silver trim underlines the timeless elegance of this fountain pen.
In addition to the luxurious resin for the casing, other high-quality materials are used in its production, such as 18-carat rhodium-plated gold for the nib. The nib is released from the barrel using an innovative push mechanism and glides smoothly over the paper. The filling of this fountain pen can be flexibly adapted to your preferences, as it can be used with matching ink cartridges or traditionally with a converter and ink bottle. The PILOT iroshizuku inks with their 24 fascinating color nuances are ideal for filling this extraordinary fountain pen in style.

One Click. Ready to Write.
The Click Mechanism
You know the moment: a thought comes up, and by the time you’ve uncapped your pen, it’s gone. The Pilot Capless was made for that moment. One click and the gold nib is there, ready to write. Click again and it disappears into the barrel, while a small trap door quietly seals it inside.
Pilot first presented this idea in 1963, and it has been refined ever since. More than sixty years later, the Capless still feels a bit like magic, combining the character of a real fountain pen with the ease of a ballpoint. It’s the fountain pen you’ll actually use every day: in meetings, on the go, or for the quick note on a Post-it.
Nib & Details
At the heart of every Capless is an 18k gold nib made by Pilot in Japan. It glides over the paper with a soft, slightly springy feel, and it’s what gives your handwriting its character. The mechanism is just as carefully engineered. The nib, feed and ink reservoir form one compact unit that slides out of the barrel in one piece. The spring-loaded trap door keeps the nib from drying out, so the pen is ready to write even after hours in your bag.
The clip sits on the nib end. That sounds unusual at first, but it has a purpose. It guides your fingers into a relaxed writing position, and it keeps the nib pointing up when the pen is in your pocket. You can fill the Capless with Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible Pilot converter, which gives you the whole world of bottled ink.
Which Capless for You?
- Capless (Vanishing Point): the original with a click mechanism. It has a substantial, well-balanced weight and comes in many finishes. A great choice if you like a solid feel in your hand.
- Capless Decimo: slimmer and noticeably lighter than the classic Capless, with the same click mechanism. Ideal if you have smaller hands or write for long stretches.
- Capless LS: click to bring out the nib, twist to retract it – both almost silently. Luxurious and discreet, perfect for quiet meetings.
A tip on nib sizes: Japanese nibs write about one size finer than European ones. A Pilot F is closer to a European EF, and a Pilot M to a European F. If you’re used to European fountain pens and like a fuller line, go one size up.
