Look at the temple joint on the M1027 and you will find a riveted custom seven barrel hinge, a construction that spreads the load of opening and closing across more contact points than a simple pivot. It is set into hand polished Japanese acetate and paired with the signature M+N engraving, and the frame is made in Japan.
The 50-20-143 sizing breaks down as a 50mm lens width, a 20mm bridge and 143mm temples. Read together, that is a medium fit: wide enough to balance an average face, with a moderate 20mm bridge best suited to a nose bridge of average height rather than a very low or very broad one.
Acetate colourways run Crystal, Maple with Natural, Bottle Green, Black with Gold, and Walnut with Amber. Lens tints include Cobalt Blue, Brown Gradient, Blue Gradient, Grey and Sage Green.
Ordered through an authorised Matsuda dealer, with supplier availability confirmed the same day.
