Reliable Performance Meets Sleek Shadow Mica Style
For the writer who demands both elegance and utility, the Platinum Procyon in Shadow Mica is the ultimate Japanese fountain pen. Named after the bright star Procyon, this fountain pen is designed to be a guiding light for your daily writing. The metal body is finished in the sophisticated Shadow Mica—a dark, shimmering tone that exudes professionalism—while the sturdy construction makes it an ideal everyday carry fountain pen for students, artists, and executives alike.
Innovation is the hallmark of this fountain pen. It features the patented "Slip and Seal" cap mechanism, an airtight screw-on system that prevents the ink from drying out even if the pen is left unused for weeks. This makes it a perfect choice for a beginner fountain pen or for enthusiasts who rotate between multiple pens. Furthermore, the Procyon's unique feed design allows you to fill the pen from a bottle by submerging only the tip of the nib to the breather hole, ensuring a clean, mess-free experience while capturing every last drop of ink.
Whether you are practicing calligraphy, sketching for art, or simply taking notes, this fine writing instrument offers a dependable and smooth experience. As with all premium fountain pens made in Japan by Platinum, the Procyon is built to last. Each pen comes with one Blue Black ink cartridge to get you started. To explore the world of bottled inks, simply add a Platinum converter (sold separate) to your order.
