Platinum Curidas Urban Green: the fountain pen you write with in one click
The Platinum Curidas pairs the convenience of a retractable ballpoint with the smooth writing of a Japanese fountain pen. Press the button and the nib extends, ready to write; press it again and it retracts safely inside the barrel. No cap, no fuss.
In the Urban Green finish, the translucent resin barrel takes on a deep green tone that still lets you see the retraction mechanism at work, with silver accents for a modern, elegant contrast.
Why you'll love it
- Instant writing: one click and you're ready, perfect for quick notes or signing documents, even with one hand full.
- Airtight internal seal: instead of a cap, a small sealed chamber protects the nib and keeps the ink from drying out. According to Platinum, it can sit unused for up to 6 months without drying.
- Demonstrator design: a translucent barrel for those who enjoy seeing how their pen works.
- Long, slim nib: it gives you a clear view of the nib tip and the line on the paper as you write.
- Removable clip: it sits slightly higher on the barrel to stay clear of your fingers, and if it still gets in the way you can take it off with the tool included.
- Platinum stainless steel nib, available in extra fine (EF), fine (F) or medium (M).
A name with a story
"Curidas" combines curiosity with the Japanese word kuridasu, meaning "to extend", a nod to the nib that extends with every click. It comes from Platinum Pen Co., founded in Japan in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata.
