The Coral Explorer is bright and cheerful, a pen that is easy to spot in a bag or on a desk. The matte surface of the Coral pen feels soft and grippy, and the cap carries a bold debossed Pilot logo.
Easy to live with
The Coral Explorer fills with Pilot's own cartridges, and if you prefer bottled ink you can fit a Pilot converter (sold separately). The snap cap is quick to open for notes on the go and posts firmly on the barrel.
