The Equilibrium is a model that Nakaya developed in order for the user to change the balance of the fountain pen while writing. The grooves that you see in the barrel are actually a spiral thread, and the pen includes 5 weight rings (approx. 1 gram each). With the included tool, you insert a weight ring and turn the stick to move the ring into a place that is balanced for your hand position. The paperwork includes instructions for this process.
Nakaya is the luxury line of Platinum and their cartridges and converters are interchangeable.
