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

This is an improved model based on the brand's signature model, NOCHINO. The front thickness of the NOCHINO has been scaled up from 5mm to an extra-thick 8mm. By making them thicker than normal, they suppress stray light from diagonal angles and create a glamorous transparency and unique sense of luxury that only plastic materials can provide. While giving them an overwhelming presence, the inside of the front has been handcrafted using a process called chipping to create a sense of contrast. They also serve to compensate for the thickness when prescription lenses are worn. The design of all the components remains the same, but the mid-size unisex Asian fit boss-ring type has a three-dimensional feel. Taking into account the low nose that is characteristic of Asians, the fit is designed to suit the majority of people. The glasses feature adjustable metal nose pads, which greatly affect the comfort of the glasses. Crafted with the skill of skilled artisans. The nose pads, which are in close contact with the skin for most of the day, are made of luxurious, allergy-free titanium. The crimped parts that connect the hinges are polished after being placed in plastic using a finishing method called "polishing," and skilled craftsmen carefully polish each and every part until the very end. The two-curve lens that symbolizes the NOCHINO OPTICAL brand is neither flat nor a typical curved type, with a beautiful curved surface reminiscent of old hand-cut glass lenses, and its shiny surface gives off a sense of luxury. The lineup also includes four versions of photochromic lenses, which change color under UV rays, one of the brand's iconic features. 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 × CLEAR to GRAY Lens: 2 curves Body: Frame size 48mm, Bridge width 22mm, Temple length 144mm #1 GLOSS BLACK × CLEAR to GRAY UV transmittance 5% or less As these are handmade by artisans in Sabae, there may be individual differences.
