The LAMY dialog 3 is a similar Pilot capless fountain pen in an optically sophisticated design. The LAMY dialog is a ground-breaking capless fountain pen with a retractable nib and clip. Half a turn and the sophisticated 14-carat gold nib glides out of the pen while the massive clip retracts onto the barrel.
 
The LAMY dialog represents a successful symbiosis of the most innovative writing instrument technology and the most progressive design of our time.  Its compact format also houses a unique twist mechanism that extends and retracts the nib.
