Launched in June 2024, OZONE Eyewear became a hugely popular eyewear brand in just three months, appealing to people seeking authenticity and quickly becoming a popular eyewear brand. Rather than following the rapidly changing trends of today, we have created basic, simple, and timeless designs that can be worn for a long time and in any situation. In particular, there are only a few of our flagship model "LOW TIDE" left, which features photochromic lenses that change color in response to UV rays and can be used in two ways! The LOW TIDE photochromic lens model is available in two colors: Matte Black/Bounce Gray and Gloss Black/Emo Blue. [ap_show_item 358818] [ap_show_item 358809] Of course, unlike a certain well-known sunglasses brand whose frames are mass-produced using mold molding, OZONE Eyewear's frames are carved out of plant-derived acetate plates and hand-shaped. These photochromic lenses are also highly transparent, and use ultra-high quality CR lenses that are bright, easy to see through, and do not cause fatigue. The OTON WAVES model, supervised by professional photographer Yasushi Murata, who is always on the lookout for trends and has a keen sense of style, is also in limited supply in a number of colors. [ap_show_item 357163] [ap_show_item 356716] [ap_show_item 356020] Sunglasses are an important item for Yasushi Murata, who is often outdoors, and he has developed a model called OTON WAVES that allows him to instantly wear sunglasses without removing them depending on the situation. These sunglasses are suitable for a variety of situations, such as entering and exiting tunnels, taking photos and movies, and using them indoors. For other OZONE Eyewear products, please click here!
