Platinum #3776 Century Nice Lilas fountain pen with translucent AS resin barrel, featuring inset striations which add an extra layer of interest to the design. The Nice design evokes thoughts of the luxurious sand beaches of the city of Nice on the French Riviera.

On the transparent resin body, Platinum have applied a sandblasted finish while cutting grooves at precise angles with shaped cutting to express a contrast between a subdued light and the shimmering water. As the name Lilas (French for lilac) implies, Platinum have used a pink gold metal trim with a pale pink body to match the image of the flower. Platinum says "The lilac flower symbolizes friendship, memories of adolescent, innocence and first love, while also symbolizing pride and beauty in the West."

The Platinum #3776 Century range introduces the new 'Slip and Seal' airtight cap to the superb #3776 model. The innovative new screw-on cap system uses an inner plastic seal with a strong spring. The primary benefit of this system is improved storage ability - the ink will not dry out even if left for over a year. An added benefit is improved resistance to leaks due to pressure changes.

Slip and Seal cap pens are compatible with Platinum Carbon and Pigment inks for everyday use.

The nib of the #3776 is a beautiful piece of work - made in-house at Platinum, and all are hand-tested at the factory. This nib and feed is the same as that used in the legendary Nakaya Urushi pens.

Supplied with a converter for use with bottled ink. Platinum recommends Platinum Fountain Pen Ink, though of course any quality bottled ink can be used. Also takes Platinum ink cartridges.
