“Christian Dior” 70’s-80’s Tortoiseshell aviator sunglasses

Since its founding, Christian Dior has built its identity around the concept of elegance, expressing refined aesthetics and the sophistication of each era from couture to everyday wear. We are pleased to present a sunglasses masterpiece whose presence and intellectual mood are unmistakable in vintage eyewear.

Crafted in a glossy tortoiseshell-like Optyl material, with a bold aviator silhouette and the soft shading of brown lenses, this piece evokes a classic yet distinctly urban nuance.

The frame adopts an aviator shape close to teardrop, with a lens line that provides substantial width around the face, delivering a strong impression while the rounded lower edge keeps it from looking too harsh. A three-dimensional line on the bridge smoothly descends toward the center, giving depth to the front, so you can enjoy a softer presence unique to resin materials, unlike typical metal aviators.

The material uses Optyl, an epoxy resin-based material, featuring a tortoiseshell-like expression with depth and shading that is beautifully nuanced; depending on the angle of light, amber-like transparency and the calm of a dark tone alternate. In vintage eyewear, a material with this level of luster and depth has high decorative value and adds natural shadows around the face.

A gold-colored plate is placed on the temple, with the Christian Dior logo engraved, adding a subtle touch of glamour to the frame's overall classic impression. The logo plate is not large and ostentatious, but kept to a level that adds a gentle glow to the profile, so the brand presence is felt while remaining refined.

The lenses are brown-toned, beautifully harmonizing with the tortoiseshell frame, and their softly graduated depth does not overly conceal the eyes, making them easy to incorporate into everyday styling. The included case bears the inscription Christian Dior LUNETTES DE SOLEIL, and together with the sunglasses' vintage bearing presence, it forms a set with added value that evokes the mood of the era.

Regarding the era, inside the temple you can see © Ch.Dior monsieur and the Optyl logo, and on the other side are the inscriptions MADE IN AUSTRIA and 2211A 10, which supports the credibility that these are Optyl eyewear produced in the 1970s to 1980s. Additionally, there are no modern management elements such as QR codes, URLs, or data matrices, and the combination of Christian Dior's Monsieur label and Austrian-made Optyl material aligns with the characteristics of premium eyewear of the era, which is another important element supporting the dating.

This added value lies not merely in being vintage sunglasses, but in experiencing Dior's men's line's poised elegance together with the beauty of material experimentation seen in 70s–80s eyewear. By crafting the universal aviator form in a glossy tortoiseshell-like frame instead of metal, it preserves a military-origin strength while elevating to luxurious softness.

This is especially recommended for those who want to add an intellectual and classic impression to daily outfits or to deepen the overall styling with face-area accessories. In terms of MOOD, this is not sunglasses to flamboyantly dress up with, but eyewear that quietly shapes the silhouette and lends ease to the overall style.

In styling, pairing with a tailored jacket or leather outerwear enhances the aviator's poised strength and naturally integrates the vintage Dior classic mood. Furthermore, when worn with a simple shirt or a coat with a draped silhouette, the tortoiseshell gloss adds depth around the face, guiding an elegant and fashion-forward impression that transcends gender.

We invite you to seize this opportunity.
