{"product_id":"sailor-professional-gear-sunset-over-the-ocean-fountain-pen-preowned","title":"Sailor Professional Gear Sunset Over the Ocean Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sailor Professional Gear Sunset Over the Ocean Fountain Pen, known in Japanese as \u003cem\u003eYuugure no Umi\u003c\/em\u003e, captures the shifting colors of the sea at day's end. Deep blue and purple tones move through the resin while reflective particles suggest sunlight scattered across the surface of the water. The result is a richly atmospheric interpretation of Sailor's full-size Professional Gear platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than treating the ocean as a static blue landscape, Sailor focuses on the moment of transition between day and night. The edition is built around the symbolism of sunset itself: an ending, a transformation, and the promise of a new beginning with the following dawn. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSunset Over the Ocean\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese name \u003cem\u003eYuugure no Umi\u003c\/em\u003e translates to \"the sea at dusk,\" and the palette reflects exactly that moment. Rich blue-violet resin evokes deepening water and evening sky, while the suspended reflective material catches light like the final traces of sun across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSailor describes the setting sun reflected on the sea as a symbol of change and transformation, emphasizing that every ending also carries the possibility of a new tomorrow. That idea gives the pen more emotional depth than a conventional colorway and makes the shifting resin especially appropriate to the theme. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMetashine and Changing Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe resin incorporates Sailor's Metashine material, adding reflective particles that become more apparent as the pen moves. Under subdued lighting, the body can appear dark and restrained; under brighter light, the scattered particles become much more visible and create a luminous, almost watery effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis changing appearance is central to the design. Just as the ocean's color depends on the angle and intensity of the light above it, the Sunset Over the Ocean reveals different tones and levels of sparkle depending on how it is viewed. Sailor specifically identifies Metashine as part of the edition's material treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Professional Gear Platform\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe full-size Professional Gear provides a clean architectural foundation for the atmospheric finish. Its flat cap and barrel ends distinguish it from the rounded 1911 series, while the inlaid Sailor anchor emblem at the crown preserves the company's longstanding maritime identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 129mm long and 21.6 grams, the Professional Gear is substantial enough to feel secure in the hand while remaining light enough for extended writing. The full-size body also accommodates Sailor's larger 21k gold nib, one of the defining features separating it from the smaller Professional Gear Slim. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRhodium-Plated 21k Gold Nib\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sunset Over the Ocean is fitted with Sailor's 21k gold nib finished in rhodium plating. The cool silver tone complements the darker ocean-inspired resin and keeps the overall palette restrained rather than introducing a contrasting warm gold element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSailor's 21k nibs are known for their precise, controlled character and distinctive tactile feedback. Instead of feeling completely frictionless, they retain a subtle connection to the paper that many writers describe as pencil-like. This gives the nib a sense of control and consistency that has become one of Sailor's defining writing characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe edition was offered in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium Fine, Medium, Broad, Zoom, and Music nib sizes, allowing the same design to accommodate everything from precise everyday writing to highly expressive specialty strokes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe resin construction keeps the pen relatively light and well balanced. It can be used comfortably unposted, while posting the cap adds length and moves the balance slightly toward the rear for writers who prefer a larger profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSailor's proprietary cartridge-converter filling system provides the choice between convenient cartridges and bottled fountain pen ink. The removable converter also makes cleaning and changing colors straightforward, making the Professional Gear well suited to regular use despite its special-edition appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePart of Sailor's Ocean Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSunset Over the Ocean forms part of Sailor's broader exploration of ocean-inspired themes across the Professional Gear family. The design was released in three sizes: King of Pens, full-size Professional Gear, and Professional Gear Slim. The full-size version carries item code 11-8656 and uses the 21k nib appropriate to Sailor's standard Professional Gear platform. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, the appeal lies in the combination of a strong visual theme and an established flagship platform. The shifting blue-violet resin and Metashine particles give the pen an unmistakable identity, while the 21k nib and familiar Professional Gear proportions ensure that the writing experience remains distinctly Sailor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Fountain Pen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrand: Sailor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCollection: Professional Gear\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEdition: Sunset Over the Ocean \/ Yuugure no Umi\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem Code: 11-8656\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody and Cap Material: PMMA resin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDecoration: Metashine reflective particles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNib Material: 21k Gold\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNib Finish: Rhodium-plated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNib Sizes: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium Fine, Medium, Broad, Zoom, Music\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilling System: Cartridge Converter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCartridge Type: Sailor proprietary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLength: Approximately 129mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaximum Diameter: Approximately 18mm including clip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: Approximately 21.6g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrimary Color: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Extra Fine","offer_id":49377270104339,"sku":"11-8656-140","price":359.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/Sailor-Professional-Gear-Sunset-Over-the-Ocean-Fountain-Pen-uncapped-leaning.jpg?v=1786803898","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.com\/products\/sailor-professional-gear-sunset-over-the-ocean-fountain-pen-preowned","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
