A new brand: “#3776 CENTURY Travia”

Beyond the Tradition

“Travia” is a coined name combining Tradition and Via (meaning “path” in Latin). Built on the heritage of writing culture shaped by those who came before us, “#3776 CENTURY Travia” represents an evolving road that extends straight into the future.

The Beginning of the Story ̶ The #3776 Lineage

In 1978, Platinum Pen developed the “#3776” as the ideal fountain pen together with the late Haruo Umeda, a novelist and fountain-pen collector. Named after Mt. Fujiʼs altitude̶3,776 meters, the “#3776” was launched with a single ambition: to create Japanʼs finest fountain pen.

In 2011, the “#3776 CENTURY” was introduced, featuring the groundbreaking Slip & Seal Mechanism to overcome one of the biggest problem of fountain pens̶ink drying out. With enhanced reliability for everyday use and improved writing performance, “#3776 CENTURY” grew into one of Platinumʼs iconic series.

Then, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the “#3776 CENTURY,” the “#3776 CENTURY DECADE” was launched. It incorporated the gathered design̶an icon of the “#3776” in 1978̶into the body and adopted a flat-top silhouette. “#3776 CENTURY DECADE” was also equipped with a newly developed nib, whose supple, flexible feel signaled another milestone in Platinumʼs ongoing fountain-pen innovation.

From Legacy to the Next Evolution
