Pilot Metropolitan (MR) Ballpoint Pen - Black Lacquer with Silver Trim

The Pilot Metropolitan ballpoint pens combines a 1.2-ounce solid metal body with Pilot's proprietary medium-point ink cartridge, providing the heft and balance that serious writers demand. This 5.5-inch writing instrument showcases a sophisticated matte black finish accented by glossy black banding and polished chrome details—hallmarks of Japanese precision engineering applied to everyday writing tools. During daily use, the Metropolitan's twist-action mechanism advances and retracts the ink tip with a 180-degree rotation, preventing accidental deployment in pockets or bags. The 9mm diameter barrel sits comfortably between fingers, while the ink technology borrowed from Pilot's Dr. Grip series allows the pen to write at any angle without skipping or blob formation. When clicked closed, the ballpoint tip fully retracts into the metal housing, protecting both the mechanism and pocket linings from ink stains. Each Metropolitan arrives presentation-ready inside a distinguished Pilot gift
