Overview

The Pilot Custom 743 fountain pen in black combines resin and gold PVD accents in a traditional design developed from the Custom 74 in 1993.

Introduced alongside the 742 in 1993, the Custom 743 developed the form of the Custom 74. Black resin and gold PVD trim give it the familiar contrast of the Custom family, while its 14k gold nib offers a smooth, supple writing feel.

The fountain pen closes with a screw-on cap and accepts Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink.

Made in Japan, it measures 148 mm capped and 164 mm with the cap posted. The barrel is 12.5 mm wide, and the pen weighs 25 g capped.
