Pilot Custom 743 Verdigris US Exclusive Fountain pen

Pilot is pleased to share the launch of their first US Exclusive Custom 743! This Custom 743 is a gorgeous green hue called Verdigris and comes in a resin body with gold accents. Verdigris is a literal translation of vert-de-Grèce or the Green of Greece. With its inherent vivacity, this fungible hue is associated with renewal and rebirth.

Pilot fans will probably know that the Custom 743 is a coveted fountain pen that has the same size body as the Custom 823, but features a CON-70 converter or cartridge. 

The #15 size, 14 karat gold nib comes in a wide range of nib options: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Double Broad and even Falcon. Each nib offers Pilot’s distinctly unique, smooth and effortless writing experience. 

The first Pilot pens were launched in Japan in 1918. At this time, the country was opening up to Western influences and was importing European techniques. Over the years, Pilot has developed into one of the leading fountain pen brands. By listening to their customers, Pilot's research has enabled them to create new standards in terms of comfort and innovative products.
