"Christian Dior" 80's Oversized aviator sunglasses

"Christian Dior"

80s Austrian-made aviator sunglasses

From Christian Dior, which has been proposing an elegant style rooted in sophistication since its founding—while capturing the noble masculine image of each era—we are pleased to present this iconic design piece.

With a bold teardrop-inspired silhouette, and the white CD logo quietly displayed on the temples, this piece delivers a presence that is unmistakably reminiscent of vintage eyewear.

The frame is crafted in a metal finish that appears from black to charcoal black. While the lines are slender, it creates a sharp expression that tightens the look around the face. The lenses feature a brown gradient that is darker at the top and fades to a lighter tone toward the bottom, adding a gentle sense of depth to the strong character of a classic aviator.

Marked with a wide size balance—lens width 59 mm, bridge 16 mm, and temple length 130 mm—this piece also includes a practical structure with movable nose pads and screw-retained hinges. Its front stance makes a confident statement, yet the lightness characteristic of a metal frame helps it avoid feeling overly heavy—an appealing point in its design.

Regarding the era, we cannot confirm the presence of displays such as QR codes or URLs that are commonly seen on recent products, due to the absence of such markings on the images. Additionally, we can see the © Ch. Dior monsieur inscription on the inside of the temples, and the opposite side is stamped with MADE IN AUSTRIA 2151 90 59 16 130. Based on these details and the classic metal-frame construction typical of license eyewear from that time, this item can be introduced as a vintage piece from around the 1980s.

It also comes with a Christian Dior LUNETTES case. The dark-toned exterior with gold-toned edging, along with a cream-beige printed interior, harmonize with the eyewear’s sense of age—making it not only a practical item, but also a piece that offers the pleasure of ownership, which can be considered an added value.

While we cannot verify attribution to a specific designer or identify the exact season, the refined, masculine mood characteristic of the Christian Dior Monsieur line coexists with an atmosphere unique to Austrian-made vintage—something not found in current production. It is recommended for those who wish to add a subtle yet luxurious depth to their everyday attire.

As for styling, it is, of course, perfect for a classic look paired with a tailored jacket or a leather bomber. Even simply adding it to a white dress shirt or a minimal knit creates a distinct impression around the face, allowing you to enjoy the balance of mode and vintage without regard to gender.

We encourage you to take this opportunity.
