  • We've listed this rare Cazal frame from the late 1980's as unisex,

    but Zalloni probably thought the rectangular shape and longer arm

    size would be a men's design. This is the best colourway for the 638

    in our opinion: a crystal frame with two coloured accent layers - a

    teal green above to emphasise the straight brow with its metal insert,

    and a light grey, tracing round the lower bridge and eyepieces, but

    segmented in a nice detail - both colours then meeting the amazing

    metal sides. The shining silver metal adds to the futuristic look -

    it's so lean and light and the sides are like open windows on a space

    age structure - the shape echoed by the crystal window eyepieces.

    The arms are also slender, the logos discreet, and here the metal

    is complemented by matt green enamel insets, leading to arms in a

    dark and light swirled grey acetate. The condition of the frame is

    stunning. Desirable for its architectural, airy design and in this

    colourway - also because it is the larger size. We would also venture

    that it's a Cazal frame that would suit prescription (Rx) clear lenses

    - as well as tinted Rx or transition lenses or sunglass lenses. Oh,

    and did we mention it came in the original case? A little used, but

    hey, the previous owner did the right thing and looked after the

    frame.
