The executive version of the legendary 823. Smoke finish for understated elegance, with the same massive ink capacity and large #15 nib.

If the Amber version is a classic, the Pilot Custom 823 Smoke (Transparent Black) is the choice of the modern professional. It retains all the engineering that has made this series famous, but with a smoked gray-black resin finish that offers a much more sober and contemporary aesthetic.

At first glance, it looks like a deep, shiny black pen, perfect for high-level meetings. However, when held up to the light, its translucent body reveals the ink level and the complex inner mechanism, a subtle detail that only the user can enjoy.

The “Engine” of the 823: Beneath its executive appearance lies the famous Vacuum Filler system. A single movement of the piston fills the entire body of the pen (approx. 1.5ml - 2.2ml), offering unmatched writing autonomy. Forget about running out of ink in the middle of an important signature.

It features Pilot's prestigious 14K gold nib (size #15). It is a large, visually striking nib, adjusted for absolute smoothness. The Japanese Medium (M) point is the perfect balance: neither too fine nor too thick, ideal for standard office paper.

Why choose the Smoke finish:

• Discretion: Less flashy than gold/amber, it pairs better with dark suits and corporate environments.
• Safety: Incorporates an airplane-safe valve. You can fly with it loaded without risk of pressure leaks.
