The Platinum #3776 Century Black Diamond is a new take on the original with rhodium trim and a dark black translucent cap and barrel.

The Century line features the innovative, patented-pending “Slip & Seal” inner cap mechanism that prevents the ink from drying out in the nib for up to 24 months.

The 3776 Century Black Diamond is available in 7 nib widths. The following 7 nibs are available for order on this page: EF, F, SF, M, SM, B, and Coarse (Double Broad). To order the Black Diamond with a Music nib, please visit this page.

Includes cartridge and converter.

Select Nib Width

Platinum's nibs are remarkably consistent, offering moderate ink flow and a smooth writing sensation. Choose from sizes Ultra Extra Fine, Extra Fine, Fine, Soft Fine, Medium, Broad, Coarse (Double Broad) or Music.

The Curved Architect grind should be selected on Platinum Coarse or Sailor Zoom nibs for best results. The Curved Architect grind is functionally identical to the Naginata-Togi and Goccia nibs offered by other brands and is in no way associated with those brands.

Orders with “No adjustment. Ship ASAP!” and “Tune & Smooth” ship in 3-5 business days. All other nib customizations ship in 7-9 weeks.

Description

SLIP & SEAL MECHANISM

It has normally been thought difficult to make an airtight pen with a screw-type cap. If not sealed tightly, the following problems can result:

  1. Ink drying out due to moisture evaporation.
  2. Problems with dried ink if the pen is not used for three to six months.
  3. It can be necessary to clean the pen using the Platinum Ink Cleaner Kit or even to repair or replace the nib itself if the damage due to dried ink is too severe.

At the request of customers, Platinum Pen Company have gone back to the basics to deal with this problem. This is the first fountain pen which has their unique “Slip & Seal” structure in a pen with a screw-type cap. Thanks to this innovation, currently being patented, it is possible to have a screw-type cap with complete airtightness.

The innovative cap contains a unique “Slip & Seal” mechanism that prevents ink from drying out in the pen. Meanwhile, a newly redesigned nib and feed regulate the ink flow. Founded in 1919, Platinum Pens is now nearing a full century of achievement. The #3776 “Century” celebrates this approaching anniversary and continues Platinum Pens’ tradition of technological innovation. With Platinum Pens, the pleasure of writing and the use of fine writing instruments will always be evolving.

The #3776“ Century” Fountain Pen. What qualities make for the ideal contemporary fountain pen? Sleek design, comfortable writing balance, smooth flow, and fast-drying ink… At the request of customers, we at Platinum Pen have gone back to the basics to address these issues. Every part and mechanism has been carefully studied and re-engineered. The result is the #3776 “Century,” designed on the base model of the popular #3776 series pens.

    A great pen with superb nib work by the NibSmith. Many thanks!

    I have a couple of other #3776s though this is the first with Dan’s work to give me a stub version of the broad nib. The Black Diamond is quite beautiful with a subtle degree of translucency. The rhodium finish gives it a real elegance. The pen is very pleasant in the hand – there is a slight step down from the barrel to the section which is not a big issue for me – my thumb sits over the threads and it not uncomfortable. I write with the pen posted (and the pen posts very well) – I have small hands and suspect people with larger hands may find it a little small unposted. The finish of the pen is flawless and my experience with Platinum pens is consistent smooth flow with no skipping. Dan’s stub modification maintains the smoothness of the Platinum nib with subtle line variation which makes for a perfect writing experience. I have a #3776 in Chartres Blue which I will be sending to Dan for the same nib modification. Please note that the pen came with the excellent Platinum converter and an ink cartridge. The ordering, delivery and communication were top class! From a happy repeat customer!
