The Navy look
The Navy Explorer is understated and professional, the kind of pen that looks right in an office or a lecture hall. The matte surface of the Navy pen feels soft and grippy, and the cap carries a bold debossed Pilot logo.
Light and comfortable
The Navy Explorer weighs only about 12g and measures 142mm capped, so it disappears in a pocket or pencil case. Post the cap and it extends to 162mm for a fuller grip. It is light enough for students to write with all day.
