Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

The TK-3 sits at the center of the Takumi collection's premise — a modern aviator built specifically to showcase Japanese manufacturing precision, from the perforated eyewire detailing down to the photochromic glass lens. It's a current-collection release rather than an archival or vintage piece, placing it firmly in Modern.

Notes

Temple engravings (OV1276ST, 5254R5, TK-3, 53▢15, 145, made in Japan) were checked against Oliver Peoples' official product records and match exactly. Note that the temple engraving can be easy to misread at a glance — an initial reading of this piece appeared to show "OV1278ST," but the physical engraving was confirmed as OV1276ST, consistent with the documented catalog entry for this colorway.
