The Pilot Custom 845 Vermilion is a remarkable fountain pen that brings one of Japan’s most iconic colours to one of Pilot’s most prestigious writing instrument collections. Crafted from ebonite and finished with layers of traditional Urushi lacquer, it reveals a rich vermilion red tone that is deeply connected to Japanese culture and symbolism, representing vitality, prosperity, and protection.

The depth of the Urushi lacquer enhances the pen’s surface with a subtle glow, making it not only a writing instrument, but also an object of exceptional artistry.

At the heart of the pen is Pilot’s superb 18k gold #15 nib, celebrated for its smooth ink flow, precision, and controlled firmness. Its hard nib character offers a stable and confident writing experience, ideal for those who appreciate accuracy, consistency, and a refined touch on paper.
