The highest representation of vintage acetate eyewear undoubtedly belongs to True Vintage Revival.

A collection of original designs from the 1950s is rigorously reproduced entirely by hand at every step using the "Datum Expression System".
This is a secret process passed down through generations of high achievers to achieve a unique balance of the frame.

This Sabae-based company manages to produce very few pieces per year, which is why in a short time these glasses have become objects of desire for collectors and American movie stars.

True Vintage Revival

TVR 529

Sabae, Japan - Following the success of the TVR® Infinity 8, TVR® OPT continues its series of celebrations with another collection for its 9th anniversary. As part of the TVR® OPT 9th Anniversary Edition, the Japanese brand presents the TVR®529, exclusively handcrafted from the same 8mm Zylonite Acetate material also used for the TVR® Infinity 8 line.

The new TVR®529 features a deep retro-influenced frame reinvented with a modern rounded shape. The frame is thicker around the raised lenses, highlighting a single high bridge. The classic American vintage is a true revival of the original pilot style, an archetype that combines both aviator and Panto design.

Dating back to the 1930s, aviator frames were first introduced in the U.S. military, where jet pilots needed specific eyewear with better optical protection from sunlight and deep blue skies. The single front bridge design was a big hit in the 1950s and 1960s, when Americans were looking for something aviator-like, but wearable as prescription eyewear with the right size lenses.

Where function and fashion meet, the novelty has become a cult classic worldwide with its striking single bridge, now updated with rounded, geometric shapes.

The TVR®529 is an iconic shape inspired by American playwright and author Arthur Miller, who famously wore this prescription frame in the 1960s. Miller, who was also Marilyn Monroe's husband, made the strong, bold masculine shape much in demand with the deep single brow bar.
