Lenses

The custom lenses are the centerpiece of this pair.

New digitally surfaced photochromic lenses by Second Chance Customs begin with an elegant champagne-to-soft-rose appearance indoors. Under UV exposure, they deepen into a rich tobacco-brown sun tint—giving the frame two completely different personalities.

The precision-cut upper corners complement the geometry of Cartier’s hardware, while the detailed edge work gives the lenses a sculpted, jewelry-like finish.

Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

These are classic Cartier White Buffs transformed into something completely individual.

Indoors, the champagne and soft-rose lenses beautifully complement the pearl-grey buffalo horn and polished gold hardware. Outdoors, the activated tobacco-brown color creates a warmer, richer and significantly bolder look.

The full-kit presentation, genuine natural horn, original Cartier lenses and specialized custom lens treatment make this an exceptional opportunity for someone who wants authentic Cartier Buffs without looking like everyone else wearing them.
