About this item

A classic browline (clubmaster-style) sunglass by Optura, made in West Germany. Glossy black acetate brows with subtle charcoal striations, decorated with small gold two-bar rivet trims at the outer corners, sit over thin gold-filled lower rims and a ribbed gold-filled double bridge. The bridge is hallmarked 1/25 12ct (12-karat gold filled), and the grey-black marbled temples are stamped OPTURA and MADE IN WEST GERMANY. Fitted with grey gradient lenses. New old stock, unworn.

Brand heritage

Optura was a West German eyewear label whose metal frames, typically marked "1/25 12ct" or "1/20" gold filled, are sought after by collectors of mid-century German optical craftsmanship. West German frames of this period are known for their solid gold-filled metalwork – a real layer of gold bonded to the base metal, far more durable than ordinary plating.

Why this one is special

• Genuine 1/25 12K gold-filled metalwork, hallmarked on the bridge
• Made in West Germany, stamped inside the temple
• New old stock: never worn
• Timeless browline shape that suits most faces, men and women
• Grey gradient lenses: dark at the top, light at the bottom
