MASUNAGA MOC
MASUNAGA MOC Collection — Masters of Craft, Reimagined
Exclusively at Ocular & Eyes, Sydney
The MASUNAGA Masters of Craft (MOC) Collection represents the pinnacle of Japanese eyewear artistry — a bold, ambitious line created by a brand whose craftsmanship heritage dates back to 1905. While MASUNAGA has long been celebrated for its minimalist elegance and precision engineering, MOC takes a fearless leap into a new realm: eyewear as wearable sculpture, defined by rich detailing, rare finishes, and uncompromising technical mastery.
Born from MASUNAGA’s philosophy to break boundaries, MOC frames challenge the notion of what luxury eyewear can be. Each model is produced in limited runs of only 150 pieces worldwide, making every frame an investment in exclusivity.
Sterling silver, defined by its grid pattern, adds a subtle yet striking accent across the bridge and temples. With its sharp contours preserved through casting rather than stamping, it carries a presence found nowhere else in eyewear.
- Sterling Silver 925
- Grid pattern detail
- Bridge and temple placement
- Cast construction, not stamped
Embedded in the left temple tip, the MOC medallion is cast from solid sterling silver. Its motif is drawn from the steering wheel of a racing car. The oxidised smoked silver finish catches light with a quiet clarity that reveals itself in use, not on first inspection.
- Sterling Silver 925
- Cast construction
- Oxidised smoked silver finish
- Inspired by a racing car steering wheel
- Left temple tip placement
Applied across the bridge, top bar, nose pads and temples, the gold plating on every MOC frame is ten times thicker than the industry standard. Each surface is hand-polished by craftsmen before plating. There is no correction after application. It is right, or it is redone.
- 5 micron thickness
- 10 times the industry standard
- 18K / 10K / Rose Gold options
- Bridge, top bar, pads and temples
- Hand-polished before application
Layer upon layer of original-coloured acetate builds depth and substance. The boldly sculpted side shields are carved from blocks cut at 10mm thickness, sourced from Masunaga's own colour archive and hand-polished to a mirror edge. Each shield is a pursuit of both function and form.
- Japanese acetate
- MOC 001–004: 10.0mm thickness
- MOC 005–006: 8.0mm thickness
- Original layered colour construction
- Hand-carved and mirror-polished
A wide nose pad with a double-layer construction, built from four separate moulds. The base pad and thickly plated main pad sit in two-colour combination, with grooves carved into the surface to reduce slippage. The parts you cannot see are held to the same standard as the parts you can.
- Two-layer construction
- Titanium base
- 5-micron gold plating
- MOC original icon detail
- Grooved surface for secure fit
Every element of the collection demonstrates extraordinary craft:
5-Micron Gold Plating — ten times thicker than standard plating, using 18K, 10K, or rose gold to achieve a luminous, opulent finish.
Sterling Silver Medallion Tips — oxidised 925 silver medallions echoing the steering-wheel motif of classic motorsport.
Double-Layered Titanium Nose Pads — a dual-shield structure crafted through multiple moulds for unmatched comfort and stability.
Custom Triple-Line Rim Wire — a 3.5 mm titanium rim inspired by the structural language of F1 racing.
Ultra-Thin Mineral Glass Lenses — 1.5 mm lenses with back-side AR coating for precision optics and exceptional clarity.
High-Gloss Epoxy Enamel Temples — bold, high-polish finishes in mono and bi-colour options.
Exclusive “MOC Burgundy” Acetate — a deep, archival-inspired acetate created solely for this collection.
Every detail is intentional. Every component is hand-finished in Japan. Every frame stands as proof that luxury is not only seen, it is felt.
With the MOC Collection offered exclusively through a limited number of 100 premium eyewear stores internationally, Ocular & Eyes is honoured to be one of the few entrusted retailers.
