OWP 224-40 Oversized VINTAGE Sunglasses Germany Deadstock Custom Lenses

Vintage OWP 224-40 Oversized Sunglasses – Deadstock – Germany – Custom Lenses

An exceptional piece of true German vintage eyewear design.

The OWP 224-40 captures that perfect transition period between late-70s luxury oversized eyewear and the softer geometric fashion silhouettes that defined the early 1980s. The shape is bold yet elegant — oversized without becoming cartoonish — with beautifully sculpted lines that feel unmistakably European.

What immediately stands out is the acetate.

The layered translucent sage/smoke striping paired with the exposed internal wirecore construction gives this frame depth and sophistication rarely seen in modern production eyewear.

Finished with brand new custom dusty rose lenses by Second Chance Customs™, this pair now carries a modern editorial feel while preserving its authentic vintage soul.

Made in Germany.

OWP (O.W.P. Brillen) has long been associated with German eyewear manufacturing and precision craftsmanship. Vintage German-made acetate pieces from this era continue gaining appreciation among collectors due to their construction quality and increasingly limited surviving deadstock inventory. 

Condition:

• Deadstock / Unworn

Condition Notes:

This pair remains unworn old stock with excellent preservation throughout. The acetate retains strong clarity and shine, while the wirecore detailing remains highly visible through the translucent temples.
