Tradition, and the road ahead. The Platinum #3776 Century Travia takes its name from a blend of ‘Tradition’ and ‘Via’ (path). It is a long-bodied, flat-top 3776 in Onyx Black resin with dark black nickel and black chrome finishes and Platinum’s new 14K FLAF nib, released on 14 March 2026.

• Cap: Slip & Seal screw cap

The meaning of Travia

Platinum created the Travia to honour its past while looking to the future. The launch edition came in a special package of 2,000 sets, 900 of them for markets outside Japan, together with a revised edition of the founder’s book. Once those are gone, Travia continues as a standard edition in Platinum’s regular gift box.

A darker, longer 3776

The Travia builds on the flat-top Decade design but stretches the body, adding a metal balancer in the middle of the barrel. The result is a pen of about 142mm and 29g, with a 15mm diameter: noticeably more substantial than a standard #3776 Century. Every metal part is finished in black nickel or black chrome, giving it a stealthy, monochrome look.

The FLAF nib

Travia debuts Platinum’s 14K gold FLAF nib, short for ‘Float Like A Feather’. As the name suggests, it is designed to feel light and soft on the page, and its ruthenium finish matches the dark trim perfectly. Choose Fine for precise Japanese-style writing or Medium for a smoother, fuller line.

Slip & Seal: never dries out

Like every #3776 Century, the Travia uses Platinum’s Slip & Seal inner cap, which keeps the nib from drying out even after months without use. The Converter-700A and a blue-black cartridge come in the box.
