The Evolution of the #3776 Century Fountain Pen
Fifteen years ago, the world was introduced to an innovation that would redefine writing — the #3776 Century fountain pen by Platinum Pens. To commemorate its journey and evolution, Platinum has announced the launch of the #3776 Century Ver. 2.0, boasting over 50% improvements in performance. This latest model not only celebrates the legacy of the #3776 but also sets a new standard for fountain pens in the market.
A Brief History
The story of the #3776 began in 1978, driven by a quest for the perfect fountain pen. The brand achieved a significant milestone in 2011 with the introduction of the original #3776 Century. It featured a unique slip seal mechanism designed specifically to prevent ink from drying out — a common issue in many fountain pens.
The New #3776 Century Ver. 2.0
Now, after years of research and refinement, the #3776 Century Ver. 2.0 has arrived. This revised model has significantly enhanced the slip seal mechanism's capabilities, elevating its airtight properties. The pen can be left unused for approximately three years — a remarkable leap from the previous two years. This improvement eliminates the hassle of maintenance and minimizes ink evaporation, ensuring that every writing experience remains as fresh as the first.
