PELIKAN Souveran is the classic pen and the M8XX series is the second largest pen in the range.

This is the M809 Black Matt special edition, due for release in November 2025.

A monochrome aesthetic that is quietly confident. These early photos suggest a luxury form and finish that conveys a precision tool, but also one intended to be used. It's sleek, professional and timeless. We expect it to be a favourite of executives, designers and M80X collectors.

From the manufacturer:
The M809 Black Matt is more than a writing instrument; it's a design statement in deep, uncompromising black.

From the grip to the barrel, from the rings to the cap, even down to the elegantly finished 18-carat gold nib: every visible element is finished in matte black. This seamless, monochrome look is elevated by a refined contrast of textures; satin-finished metal meets high-gloss precious resin for a sleek, modern silhouette.

A discretely smoked ink window blends almost invisible into the barrel, offering subtle transparency without breaking the pen's dark allure.

Beyond aesthetic, the M809 Black Matt delivers a unique tactile experience. The matt surface doesn't just look exclusive, it feels it. With a soft satin texture and a gently grippy finish, the pen sits securely and comfortably in the hand. Each touch reveals the attention to material, the depth of the finish, and the pleasure of texture that sets this piece apart.
