£450

This is a pre-order, the pen will be available in July 2026

Write longer without interruption. The Sailor 1911 Realo's high-capacity piston filler holds 1.5 ml of ink—roughly triple the capacity of standard models—so you can focus on your writing instead of frequent refills.

Perfect for extended journaling, correspondence, or creative work. Experience the craftsmanship of Sailor's handcrafted 18k gold nib, renowned for its smooth ink flow, precision, and distinctive feedback.

The Clear Black translucent resin body lets you monitor ink levels at a glance, while the modular nib design lets you swap compatible Sailor nibs to suit your writing style.

Made in Japan by a manufacturer with over a century of expertise. A luxury pen built for writers who demand both performance and pleasure.

 Unlike conventional Realo models, the nib section can be separated from the barrel and mounted directly onto the new high-capacity body.

This feature allows compatible Sailor nib units sharing the same threading standard and dimensions to be installed on the new body, giving users the freedom to pair their favorite Sailor nibs with the enhanced Realo ink system.

 It is important to note that compatibility is not universal. The body is not compatible with Slim series models such as the 1911 Standard and Professional Gear Slim, King of Pen models, Special Nib and 1911 Casual L series, nor with certain cartridge-cover models including the Ebonite Sculpture, Kirikane, and Arita 400 Years Anniversary collections.
