• This particular model is becoming increasingly rare, especially in this unworn condition with original branding fully intact.
• The bold amber tortoise and sleek form nod to a bygone era of 1950s Americana, often worn by musicians, racecar drivers, and early Hollywood icons.
• The oval shape paired with modern custom lenses makes this a wearable collector’s piece that blends form, function, and historical relevance.
