Platinum #3776 Century Ver.2 Fountain Pen – Prism Crystal (Limited Edition) The Platinum #3776 Century Ver.2 Fountain Pen – Prism Crystal marks a striking new evolution of one of Japan’s most celebrated writing instruments. Limited to just 2,000 pieces worldwide, this transparent demonstrator showcases both the technical innovation and refined aesthetics that have defined the #3776 lineage for decades. Inspired by clarity and precision, the Prism Crystal edition allows you to fully appreciate the inner mechanics while enjoying enhanced performance designed for modern writers and collectors alike. At the heart of this Ver.2 release is the evolution of Platinum’s renowned Slip and Seal Mechanism. Reengineered to deliver over three years of airtight protection, the improved system extends ink freshness by more than 50 percent compared to the previous generation. Accelerated laboratory testing, equivalent to three years of real-world use, confirms its ability to significantly reduce ink evaporation. Every aspect of the design was reexamined to prevent drying, ensuring your fountain pen is ready to write even after extended periods of storage. The transparent barrel has been carefully redesigned with a flatter internal surface to reduce reflections and dramatically improve ink visibility. Monitoring remaining ink levels is clearer and more intuitive than ever before. The rear section has also been enhanced with an added rubber ring at the joint, reinforcing airtightness and preventing looseness during writing. A streamlined crown design removes the previously visible internal nut, creating a clean and uninterrupted transparent space that highlights the pen’s precision engineering. The gripping section has been refined for greater durability, easier maintenance, and a more stable writing experience. Complementing these structural improvements is a renewed nib engraving, featuring a contemporary interpretation of the iconic Mount Fuji motif. This design pays tribute to the pen’s heritage while presenting a polished and sophisticated aesthetic. Each pen is individually engraved with a serial number on the cap top, underscoring its exclusivity and collectible appeal. First developed in 1978 in collaboration with acclaimed writer Haruo Umeda, the #3776 was conceived as the ideal fountain pen, named after the height of Mount Fuji. The 2011 introduction of the Century model brought the Slip and Seal Mechanism to the forefront of fountain pen technology. Now, in 2026, Platinum Fountain Pen Co. presents the next chapter in this legacy. The Platinum #3776 Century Ver.2 Prism Crystal combines heritage, innovation, and limited-edition desirability in a fountain pen designed to perform flawlessly while standing out in any collection.
