Introducing the latest addition to Sailor’s Galaxy Series: the Iris Nebula. Nebulae, also known as “star smoke,” emerge when gas and dust converge under the pull of gravity, giving birth to a luminous spectacle that does not emit light itself but reflects the light of neighboring stars.
Aptly named for its resemblance to the celestial clouds that look like a blossoming flower in space, Sailor’s Iris Nebula embodies this mesmerizing phenomenon through its distinctive design and color scheme: featuring a semi-translucent blue barrel complemented by a semi-translucent, smoky black cap. The interplay of light and dust is elegantly depicted through the silver glitter adorning the pen body, evoking the celestial dance of the Iris Nebula within the cosmos.
The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The Professional Gear Slim fountain pen comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black cartridges. It is equipped with a 14k rhodium-plated gold nib available in several nib sizes.
An overseas exclusive, available only outside of Japan! Limited production of 1,500 available in 2024.
