SURGICAL STEEL & TITANIUM

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.

Material

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.

Hinge

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.

Functional Design

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.

DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON

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.

WOOD & CARBON FIBER

OVVO proudly presents one of the lightest, thinnest wood frames in the world. Consisting of two layers of wood and nine layers of carbon fiber, every frame in this collection merges the natural and the technical like never before. Each piece showcases the handsome textures and tones of exotic woods, sustainably harvested by European Union-controlled sources from around the world. Our Wood and Carbon Fiber fronts are supported by surgical steel and a titanium composite temple, bringing four high performance materials into one frame: carbon fiber, exotic wood, military grade surgical steel, and titanium.

DUO

Combining Mazzucchelli acetate
with surgical steel and titanium temples,
we brought our trademark durability
to a sophisticated frame.
The DUO collection delivers light,
comfortable, lasting wearability
in a daring aesthetic.

Our DUO frames are supported by fully adjustable surgical steel and titanium temples. These metal composite temples reduce weight and improve flexibility, making these frames much lighter and stronger than traditional offerings. These mixed materials deliver the best of both worlds in a frame both rugged and refined.
