Japanese innovation and timeless craftsmanship in a truly iconic fountain pen.

The Platinum #3776 Century Chartres Blue combines advanced Japanese engineering with refined aesthetics and exceptional writing performance. Equipped with Platinum’s exclusive “Slip & Seal” cap mechanism, the pen prevents ink from drying out for up to 24 months, ensuring smooth and reliable writing every time you use it.

Its glossy semi-transparent deep blue resin body is inspired by the magnificent stained glass windows of the world-famous Chartres Cathedral in France. As light passes through the barrel, the pen reveals a unique depth and luminosity reminiscent of the cathedral’s extraordinary glass artistry.

The pen features a beautifully engraved 14K gold nib, designed to deliver expressive ink flow, remarkable smoothness, and outstanding writing character. Gold-plated trims and the signature engraved center band further enhance its elegant and luxurious appearance.

The screw-cap construction provides secure closing and premium feel, while the perfectly balanced body offers exceptional comfort during long writing sessions.

The original 3776 series was created by legendary designer Haruo Umeda, widely known as “Mr. Fountain Pen,” together with the Platinum Pen design team. Their vision was simple yet ambitious: to create the ideal fountain pen. Released in 1978, the #3776 quickly became one of Platinum’s most celebrated models, with more than 150,000 pens sold within the first six months.

The number 3776 represents the height in meters of Mount Fuji — Japan’s highest and most iconic mountain — symbolizing the pursuit of perfection in Japanese craftsmanship.
