A mechanical pencil from Sailor, Japan

Sailor has been making writing instruments in Japan since 1911 and is best known for its fountain pens. The Time Tide brings the same attention to detail to a mechanical pencil you’ll use every day.

0.5mm lead for fine, precise lines

0.5mm is the most popular mechanical pencil lead size. It gives a crisp, fine line that’s great for neat handwriting, maths and science work, margin notes, detailed sketches and technical drawings. Replacement 0.5mm leads are easy to find in a wide range of grades.

Push-button mechanism

A quick press of the push button advances the lead, so you can keep writing without interruption. There’s no cap to lose and nothing to twist.

Aluminium body, comfortable balance

The aluminium body is light yet sturdy. The pencil measures 135mm long with a 14mm diameter and weighs 22g, giving it a comfortable, balanced feel for long study or drawing sessions.
