Sailor took up the much-expressed wish for a plain, classically formed fountain pen without cap ring in the medium standard format and in 2016 brought out two limited editions: in the first half year 'Black with silver trim Ringless' and in the second half year 'Black with ruthenium trim Ringless'. The ringless cap orients itself on the historical line of the brand and emphasises a reduced, minimalist design language. The concept finds among lovers of plain writing instruments — comparable e.g. with the Platinum 3776 Jin Shin Black Dragon — express appeal.
