OBE integrated in this new spring hinge the well proven flexUno technology.
The case was diminished to a minimum length of only 7.7 mm. The shrinking of the case did not affect the performance of the spring hinge – On the contrary: This flex passed OBE’s major endurance tests having additionally the anti-rocking feature thanks to the double barrel construction of the mechanism.
OBE selected for this product the premium material stainless steel:  all components like case, mechanism and spring and the main relevant front hinges are made of stainless steel. This makes the product unique as it can be declared anallergic due to the zero nickel emission! Frame manufacturers can choose the loose version mainly for metal frames or the wire version for acetate frames.
