Pilot Custom 74 Fountain Pen - Lavender Fog
The Pilot Custom 74 is a simple yet sophisticated fountain pen. Pilot is pleased to announce the launch of their newest US Exclusive: Lavender Fog. This serene, opaque lavender barrel with silver trim evokes a quiet stillness—like morning mist clinging to a hillside just before the world wakes up. Elegant and contemplative, Lavender Fog captures a subtle emotional palette: softness, clarity, and calm intention.
The Custom 74 is a beloved model in Pilot’s Fine Writing lineup, known for its transparent body and smooth #5 size 14-karat gold nib. This exclusive edition departs from the norm with a unique opaque finish and rhodium- plated nib, available only in four rare nib sizes: Soft Fine, Soft Fine Medium, Soft Medium, and Double Broad.
These expressive nibs offer enhanced line variation and a graceful, cushioned feel across the page. A special mechanism in the converter ensures a fluid and continuous flow of ink with no skipping for a premium, expressive writing experience. The #5 nib is finely crafted from 14-karat gold.
This pen is refillable for continued use with a proprietary Pilot ink cartridge or Pilot’s CON-70 converter (both are included) and arrives packaged in a striking presentation box. The Pilot CON-70 converter holds an ample ink supply while uniquely combining the characteristics of a vacuum-filling and push-button converter.
