About this item

Vintage Cobra model 3079 in colour 10: an oversized, softly squared frame in translucent amber/honey Optyl with small decorative studs at the outer corners and bright yellow lenses - a striking 1980s look for men or women. The temple carries the Optyl logo and "COBRA", and is stamped "3079 10 54□14 FRAME AUSTRIA".

Brand heritage

Optyl is a heat-mouldable epoxy material developed in Austria by Wilhelm Anger in 1964: lighter than acetate, hypoallergenic, and able to return to its original shape when warmed. Through the 1970s and 1980s Austrian and German makers used Optyl for bold sculpted frames; Cobra Optyl frames from Austria are a collector favourite from that era.
