The original twist mechanism proved complex to manufacture and less intuitive for everyday use.
Pilot refined the design with the 2nd generation in 1964 with the Push-Button Model (the 1st generation was designed with a twist mechanism) : the launch coincided with the 1964 Olympics, Pilot introduced the first knock-type (push-button) model, allowing single-handed operation.
