Design & Era Relevance
The Silhouette MOD 480 reflects the brand’s legacy of ultra-lightweight Austrian engineering and minimalist, forward-thinking design. Silhouette became known for clean, technical constructions favored by pilots, professionals, and design purists throughout the late 20th century.
The red brow bar adds a bold accent typical of late-70s and early-80s European styling, while the new sunset gradient lenses give the piece a modern Second Chance perspective.
