A military issue model that was redesigned
from the gray horn-rimmed style in the 1970s.
At that time, the same model was produced by major American brands
such as AO and Bausch & Lomb
according to strict U.S. government specifications
as a US Army issue model.
The reason why many pieces have brand names that do not necessarily match
between the front and temple markings is due to this background.
This particular piece is a rare one where both the front and temple
are made by Bausch & Lomb.

At Burbank Labs, which produces many lenses for sunglasses in movies and television,
light gray (15%) lenses that can be worn indoors
have been installed.
The shade is dark enough for others to clearly see your eyes when wearing them.
The frame is in excellent condition, with no signs of deterioration or thinning of the acetate
The authentic vintage frame, whose quality you can feel in your hands,
establishes a genuine texture and appeal that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
