First batch limited to 2,000 sets:
Special package with a booklet "Ah, Fifty Years of Hardship." *
#3776 CENTURY Travia now proudly features the newly engineered FLAF nib. Its sharper, more acute tip delivers a new writing experience - supple and smooth as if gliding across the paper.
Named after the initials of "Float Like A Feather," the FLAF nib delivers exactly what its name suggests: a writing feel like a feather floating over the paper.
At the same time, it offers precise control to express even the finest nuances with lines exactly as you intend. From the very first stroke to stops, flicks, and sweeps, the FLAF nib responds to the writer's sensibility.
When we evaluate and compare the nib's flex response, the FLAF nib flexes with less force than the current nib.
In addition, while the #3776 CENTURY "F" and "SF" used for comparison show a bow-shaped curve characteristic, the FLAF nib shows a more linear curve response - flexing in direct proportion to the force applied. This means the line changes as intended with writing pressure, making the FLAF nib easier to control and fine-tune in feel.
Stable writing balance created by a long body & metal components
The flat-top design introduced on the DECADE is adopted, while evolving it into a long-body format with a metal component (balancer) integrated at the center of the barrel. In addition, the grip section also incorporates metal, bringing the center of gravity closer to the fingertips and maintaining a stable balance even during extended writing sessions. Whether writing fine characters or bold strokes, the fountain pen is engineered to respond exactly as intended.
Black & Ruthenium
The metal trim features a black plating with a refined subdued shine. The nib is treated with a ruthenium plating that conveys depth and elegance, creating a modern and luxurious look.
Barrel, cap: Resin
Grip: Black chrome plating on metal
Crown, end plug, ring, clip, balancer: Black nickel plating on metal
Nib: Ruthenium plating on 14K gold
* "Ah, Fifty Years of Hardship" is a chronicle of Platinum Pen's journey, written by our founder, Shunichi Nakata, himself.

Blue black ink (water-based dye ink)
Blue black ink is not affected due to sunlight or humidity, and it has high water resistance, which makes it ideal for permanent records.
Initially, it had a unique feature and was initially released as an ink for long-term storage for official documents, but has been discontinued by major manufacturers.
The origin of this ink dates back to the 2nd century, and its widespread use was in the 12th century. Initially, it was made from nuts and sap, and in the 16th and 17th centuries it was used in wine and beer as a fungicide.
The current ink was established in the 19th century.
The manufacturing method uses an oxidizing effect that ferrous ions turn into ferric ions to form the color black. Thus, it is not an ink that mixes blue and black inks, and a dye or acid is added.
Hence, the blue black ink is not "bluish black" or "blackish blue", but it is blue at the beginning of writing, but the blue color of the dye over time changes into black due to its scientific function to maintain long-term records. Only the black part of the iron that has been mixed remains on the paper's surface and becomes black because it has become dim.
Simply put, it turns blue at first and then turns black over the years.
It can be said that the deep dark blue color is obtained with this ink.
