Platinum #3776 Century 10th Anniversary Fountain pen

The Platinum #3776 model was developed in 1978 in collaboration with the late Mr. Haruo Umeda, a Japanese writer and fountain pen collector, in pursuit of the ideal fountain pen. Named after Mount Fuji’s altitude, Japan’s highest peak, the pen conveys the hope of the company to create the best fountain pen in the country.

Thirty-three years later, in 2011, the #3776 ‘Century’ model was launched. It was equipped with the Slip & Seal mechanism, that prevents ink from drying out, which had been an inevitable problem for a fountain pen. Its innovative design has become Platinum Pen’s iconic model and has been lovingly used by a fountain pen lovers all over the world.

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the #3776 Century, Platinum is launching a special limited edition to mark the new beginning of the series. Only 3.776 pieces will be produced for this model.

The 10^th anniversary #3776 Century has a new nib design, which allows the new Fine nib to be more flexible than the previous Fine nib (see graph).

The innovative cap contains a unique “Slip & Seal” mechanism that prevents ink from drying out in the pen. 

In 1919 Shunichi Nakata started his fountain pen business, that would later be known as “Platinum Fountain Pen Co.” The Japanese brand is closely related to the legendary Nakaya fountain pen brand, where some of the finest fountain pens in the world are created. This expertise also goes into Platinum's own line of fine writing instruments.
