When we set out to create the most durable, lightweight frames on earth, we searched for a metal material able to perform to the OVVO standards. And when we could not find it, we forged our own.
The result is a feat of engineering ingenuity: frames of unmatched comfort that endure the rigorous challenges of everyday life with award-winning style.
Finally, fashion meets function.
The OVVO Surgical Steel & Titanium Collection implements patented technology that defies the limits of design and performance. Each frame is constructed from a military grade surgical steel and titanium composite consisting of 70% steel and 30% titanium.
This hypoallergenic metal first discovered in spacecraft development offers remarkable durability, lightness, flex memory, and heat resistance.
Our patented screwless hinges are simple by design, yet reliable and durable. These hinges can withstand 90 pounds of pulling force and are lab tested to withstand 300,000 rotations – comparable to 205 years of usage. All in a frame weighing 0.6 ounces.
3-D adjustable nosepads feature replaceable silicon pads. Temple tips with regulated tension can be easily realigned for a customizable fit. Simply put, we obsessed over every potential weakness until there were none.
We utilize innovative diamond-like carbon nanotechnology to bring the characteristics of diamonds to eyewear.
DLC is lab-synthesized by decomposing hydrocarbon gases to stack individual atoms in carbon film that is thinner than paper, harder than diamond, and stronger than steel. The film consists of random alternations between cubic and hexagonal lattices, leaving no irregularities or fracture planes prone to weakness.
By coating our high-performance Surgical Steel & Titanium alloy frames with DLC, we’ve discovered an entirely new realm of possibilities in strength, lightness, scratch-resistance, and durability.
We are so happy to offer this durable and lightweight eyeglasses to our customers. Our customers who bought it many years ago are amazed how good it still looks and update lenses in them when they need it. Come in to try them on at 13808 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20906
