NOCHINO OPTICAL / YUGEN #1. GLOSS BLACK × CLEAR TO GREY (Photochromic Model)

The thermont type is one of the most representative shapes of sunglasses. Sunglasses have long reigned as a universal and classic item, both in Europe and the United States and here in Japan. This thermont type has been redesigned with a new angle of the front and precise size, resulting in an exquisite fit that does not touch the cheeks even on Asian people with low noses. The silhouette is Asian fit but unisex and fits Westerners as well. The main feature is the part called the rim that covers the lens. It uses milgrain, a decorative technique passed down in Europe since ancient times, where small round beads are stamped continuously on the edge or line of the base metal of wedding rings and other items, as well as a classical and delicate engraved pattern that was also widely used in antique jewelry. You can enjoy the view from three different angles. The word "milgrain" comes from the Latin word "milgrain," which means a thousand beads. The number one thousand carries auspicious meanings such as eternity and longevity. It is precisely because it is a timeless item that it becomes such a persuasive part. The frame and temples are connected by five hinges, making them very sturdy. Screws are inserted by hand according to the specifications and purpose of each part. The meticulous manual work that is unique to Sabae craftsmen is also a highlight. The two-curve lenses that are the symbol of the NOCHINO OPTICAL brand are neither flat nor typical curved, with a beautiful curved surface reminiscent of old hand-cut glass lenses, and a lustrous surface that exudes a sense of luxury. The lineup also includes three versions of photochromic lenses, one of the brand's iconic features, which change color under UV rays. The biggest appeal is the unique lens version that changes color from clear to light gray-green with a light dye to gray. #1 GLOSS BLACK & CHAMPAGNE GOLD × CLEAR to GRAY Lens: 2 curves Body: Frame size 50mm, Bridge width 20mm, Temple length 147mm #1 GLOSS BLACK & CHAMPAGNE GOLD × CLEAR to GRAY UV transmittance 5% or less As these are handmade by artisans in Sabae, there may be individual differences.
