Relevance & Rarity:

Silhouette’s M-series frames are some of the most sought-after designs in vintage eyewear. The M1192 stands out for its avant-garde aesthetic—pairing round orbital lenses with aggressive temple hardware and a translucent crystal front face that was decades ahead of its time. This particular colorway, C2738, is one of the most collectible, blending clean white temples with gold and black enamel trim.

Deadstock examples of this model are nearly impossible to find in this condition. With the addition of custom green lenses by Second Chance Customs™, this piece is now a functional fashion artifact—equally at home in a collector’s case or on the streets.
