An iconic mid-century safety horn-rimmed Wellington
frame that epitomizes Bausch & Lomb.
Originally designed as a work frame for American engineers,
it features a durable and functional, no-nonsense design.
Because of its superior aesthetic, it is celebrated as a
masterpiece and an icon of the Bausch & Lomb brand.

A beautiful piece with no issues in its state of preservation,
and free from the celluloid shrinkage often seen in this model due to aging.
A UV-protective gray lens (30%) matching this frame was installed
and finished at a laboratory in Burbank, the heart of the Hollywood film industry.
The tint is light enough that the eyes are slightly visible to others when worn.
You can wear them immediately upon arrival.
It is also possible to have lenses installed in a color and tint of your choice
at no additional cost.
Please discuss your preferences after placing your order.
Enjoy the good old American workmanship that cannot be
replicated with today's technology.
