Why This Pair Stands Out:

A rare surviving piece of Cold War-era West German craftsmanship. UVEX was known for industrial and sports eyewear built for performance and endurance. This model’s hybrid of utility and futuristic style makes it a collector’s gem—especially in deadstock condition. A favorite of retro-futurists, cyclists, and serious vintage eyewear collectors.
