Lens Section

• Fitted with brand new custom Espresso-Amber Fade lenses by Second Chance Customs.
• These lenses graduate from a deep espresso tone at the top through golden caramel into a honey-amber base — a layered, cinematic fade inspired by late-70s and early-90s luxury film coloration.
• Hand-cut, UV-protected, and color-balanced to preserve depth and warmth without distorting natural tones.

Era & Relevance

Byblos defined an understated European elegance that bridged fashion and architecture.

This piece embodies that legacy: minimal branding, precise metalwork, and a color story that resonates with vintage gold jewelry, classic cars, and sunlit Riviera afternoons.
