NOCHINO OPTICAL YUGEN #1. GLOSS BLACK & CHAMPAGNE GOLD × CLEAR to GRAY (dimming)

The browline style is one of the most iconic shapes associated with sunglasses.
Sunglasses have reigned as a timeless and classic item, both in Europe and America, and here in Japan.
This browline style has been redesigned with a redefined front tilt angle and finer sizing to provide an exquisite fit that doesn't touch the cheeks, even for Asians with flatter noses.
An Asian fit, yet a unisex silhouette that also fits Westerners.
A key feature is the rim, the part that covers the lens. It uses milgrain, a decorative technique that has been passed down in Europe for centuries, in which small round dots are repeatedly stamped onto the edges and lines of metalwork such as wedding rings, as well as classical and delicate engraved parts that were frequently used in antique jewelry.
You can enjoy different views depending on which of the three sides you're looking at it from.
Furthermore, "mill" comes from the Latin word "millgrain," meaning a thousand grains. The number thousand is associated with auspicious meanings such as eternity and longevity.
It's precisely because it's a universal item that it becomes such a compelling component.
The hinges connecting the frame and temples use five-barrel hinges, resulting in a robust construction.
Each component is fitted with screws according to its intended use, done by hand. This meticulous handiwork, characteristic of Sabae's craftsmanship, is a key feature.
The 2-curve lenses, a signature feature of the NOCHINO OPTICAL brand, are neither flat nor typical curved types, but have a beautiful curved surface reminiscent of old hand-carved glass lenses, and their gleaming surface gives them a luxurious feel. In addition, the brand's iconic photochromic lenses, which change color under UV light, are available in three versions.
The biggest appeal lies in the two types: one that changes color from clear, and another unique lens version that changes from a light gray-green to gray with a subtle color tint.

Lens: 2-curve Body: Frame size 50mm, Bridge width 20mm, Temple length 147mm

Regarding photochromic lenses, they generally have a lifespan of about 3 years, although this can vary depending on the frequency and environment of use.
Frequent use in ultraviolet light or use/storage in high-temperature environments (e.g., sauna, bathroom, car interior) may gradually degrade the dimming performance.
We ask for your understanding in advance.
