This week, we’re featuring a truly standout frame from one of the most revered names in eyewear: the Matsuda M3142— a forward-thinking reimagination of the classic aviator, brought to life with meticulous Japanese craftsmanship.

Handmade in Japan, the M3142 is crafted entirely from lightweight titanium, making it incredibly comfortable while exuding luxury and durability. What makes this model exceptional are the subtle details that only reveal themselves on closer inspection: engraved titanium temples, delicate rim detailing, and a precious metal finish that gives the frame a refined, polished presence. The hand-lacquered temples, inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco design, add a touch of artistry rarely seen in modern eyewear.

This particular pair belongs to our Vision and Style Consultant, Robert, who has given it his own personal twist. We’ve fitted it with Zeiss Digital SmartLife Individual Pro lenses—engineered for today’s connected lifestyles—finished with a custom Burgundy tint and DuraVision Sun Coating for enhanced clarity, UV protection, and scratch resistance. It’s a perfect blend of style, innovation, and everyday performance.

Robert recently took these M3142s with him on a trip to the U.S., where they proved to be just as functional on the move as they are beautiful in design. We’ll be sharing more from that adventure soon—so keep an eye out for the upcoming video!

Even more exciting, we’re proud to announce that we’re now official stockists of Matsuda. That means you can now explore the full range of Matsuda eyewear—both optical and sun—crafted in Japan and now available in-store very very soon! For now, they are available to browse on our website here.

The Matsuda M3142 is more than just eyewear—it’s a statement. Timeless, refined, and full of character—this is one for true eyewear aficionados.
