The Platinum Procyon Carmine Red fountain pen combines a glossy red lacquer finish with chrome-plated details and a pentagonal stainless steel nib.
Procyon is named for the brightest star in Canis Minor. The Carmine Red version has a lacquered metal exterior. The pentagonal nib design has a history of its own, tracing back to a gold nib Platinum introduced in 1962.
A spring-loaded inner cap forms a seal as you screw the cap closed, helping reduce ink evaporation through Platinum's Slip & Seal mechanism. The Last Drop feed takes up ink near its tip, so you can fill from a low ink level without dipping the grip section into the bottle. Use a converter for bottled ink, or refill with ink cartridges.
The fountain pen measures 139.7 mm capped with a barrel width of 14.4 mm.
It takes up ink near the tip of the feed, so you can fill with a converter without immersing the grip section. This also makes it easier to use the ink left near the bottom of a bottle.
