  • The Carrera brand, born in Traun, Austria

    in 1953, took its name after the legendary

    Mexican automobile race, the Carrera Pan-

    American
    . At some point they merged with

    German company Optyl and despite special-

    ising in sports eyewear, throughout the 70's

    and 1980's made many of the top brands

    under licence, including Christian Dior,

    Playboy and Paloma Picasso. This pair about

    20 years old or so, distinctive by the gold

    inner rims and triangular slotted bridge.

    Lenses contrast nicely with the frame and

    it is nice to find it unworn, although the lenses

    have been marked down due to some storage

    marks. UV protection is maximum, 99% at

    400nm.
