The writers' pen. Vacuum filler system with massive ink capacity and Pilot's majestic #15 nib.

Detailed Description: If there is one fountain pen that defines the concept of the “perfect writing tool,” it is the Pilot Custom 823. Considered a cult item and a favorite of famous authors (such as Neil Gaiman), this pen is designed for those who write for hours on end.

Its star feature is its Vacuum Filler System. Unlike normal pens that use cartridges, the 823 uses the entire body of the pen as a reservoir, allowing it to store 2.2 ml of ink (4 times more than a standard cartridge). With a single fill, you can write dozens of pages without stopping.

The Amber finish is elegant and timeless, allowing you to see the ink level and the movement of the internal mechanism with a sophistication that sets it apart from ordinary transparent pens.

The pen is crowned with a huge 14K gold nib (size #15), much larger than that of the Custom 74. This nib offers legendary balance and smoothness, allowing the pen to glide across the paper under its own weight.

Why is it a bestseller?

• Brutal Autonomy: Ideal for exam takers, writers, and professionals who hate running out of ink in the middle of the day.
• Safety Mechanism: Incorporates a shut-off valve that seals the reservoir when you transport it (ideal for leak-free air travel). To write for a long time, simply unscrew the rear cap slightly.
• Presence: Its size and #15 nib command respect at any meeting table.
