Quick Take: OVVO Optics has released new models utilizing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) nanotechnology.
Specifics: Six new frames utilizing DLC nanotechnology. "By coating their own, high-performance surgical steel and titanium alloy frames with this amorphous film, OVVO has created an entirely new realm of possibilities in strength, lightness, scratch-resistance, and durability for eyewear," the company stated.
Selling Points: Diamond-Like Carbon is lab-synthesized through the decomposition of hydrocarbon gases to stack individual atoms in a carbon film. According to the company, this film is thinner than paper, harder than diamond, stronger than steel, and slicker than Teflon. Additionally, the film that is created consists of random alternations between cubic and hexagonal lattices. This leaves no irregularities or fracture planes prone to weakness. The new Diamond-Like Carbon collection showcases OVVO’s signature design approach through the use of minimalist silhouettes and intricate, hand-crafted designs. The DLC collection also draws upon OVVO’s patented screwless hinge technology, which can withstand 90 pounds of pulling force and are lab tested to perform 300,000 rotations (comparable to 205 years of use) without fail. "This new addition to the OVVO catalog re-imagines the possibilities of modern eyewear. Bringing together patented technology, precision craftsmanship, and unmatched durability from a family-owned brand," OVVO said.
