Inspired by the mesmerising colours and endless movement of the ocean, the Pelikan Souverän M800 Indian Ocean captures the beauty of nature in an extraordinary writing instrument. Deep ocean blue and vibrant golden yellow intertwine in an expressive, flowing pattern, evoking sunlight shimmering across the surface of the sea and the mysterious depths beneath it.

Indian Ocean marks the beginning of a new journey for Pelikan. This new series invites you to discover the beauty of the world’s oceans through exceptional writing instruments, each inspired by the distinctive character of a different ocean. Every two years, a new ocean will be revealed, creating an ongoing journey across the world’s waters and celebrating their diversity, beauty and mystery.

At the heart of the Indian Ocean lies an exceptional acrylic material whose vibrant blue and golden yellow composition creates remarkable depth and luminosity. Its flowing pattern evokes the movement of the sea, while the individual composition of each piece ensures that every writing instrument has its own distinctive character. No two patterns are exactly alike.

The material is finished with a brilliant polish that enhances its depth and allows the colors to interact beautifully with the light. Depending on the individual color composition and the way light moves across the barrel, the piston mechanism may subtly reveal itself beneath the surface, like a hidden treasure glimpsed beneath the sea. This delicate interplay of color, transparency and light creates new details to discover from every angle.

The 18ct bi-color nib shines as the centerpiece and offers a smooth writing experience for various handwriting styles in EF, F, M and B nib widths.

Every single writing instrument is assembled by hand and checked with the utmost care to meet the strict quality criteria. The smooth operating piston mechanism allows you to fill this pen with bottled ink. Each pen is presented in a beautiful Pelikan gift box.

Please also note we are unable to accept a return of this pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink?

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above.

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean this fountain pen?

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck.

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
