ERA & RELEVANCE 

This model dates to the late 1970s – early 1980s, a period when Zeiss was heavily focused on optical superiority in precision metal eyewear. This silhouette reflects the transitional era between classic aviator shapes and future-forward avant-garde frames.

The slightly oversized round profile makes this design timeless and highly relevant in today’s fashion cycle, especially within the resurgence of

• 70s European glam
• 90s/Y2K minimalism
• Editorial & vintage streetwear styling 

This is a collector-adjacent piece with strong wearable appeal.
