Platinum #3776 Century Travia Fountain Pen

We’re pleased to introduce the new #3776 CENTURY Travia, a next-generation evolution of Platinum’s iconic #3776 lineage.  This is a pre-order with expected arrival of May 1st!

Travia takes its name from a combination of “Tradition” and “Via,” meaning path in Latin. Built on decades of #3776 heritage, it represents Platinum’s forward-looking vision for modern fountain pen design—both in form and in writing performance.

The standout feature of the #3776 CENTURY Travia is the newly engineered FLAF nib, short for “Float Like A Feather.” First introduced on the #3776 CENTURY DECADE, the FLAF nib has been further refined here to deliver an exceptionally soft, responsive writing experience. Compared to standard #3776 nibs, the FLAF nib flexes with less force and responds in a more linear, controlled manner, allowing writers to fine-tune line variation naturally through pressure. The result is a smooth, expressive feel that remains precise and easy to control, from light strokes to more deliberate movement.

Travia also introduces a long-body, flat-top design with integrated metal components in both the barrel and grip section. This brings the center of gravity closer to the fingertips, creating a stable, well-balanced feel whether used posted or unposted—ideal for extended writing sessions.

The first production run will be limited to 2,000 sets worldwide and includes a special package featuring the booklet “Ah, Fifty Years of Hardship,” written by Platinum founder Shunichi Nakata.
