The lenses are a warm brown gradient, darker at the top and fading to light amber at the bottom. "MOVADO BY CARRERA" and "PAT. PEND." are printed on the temples.

Brand heritage

Movado is the Swiss watch house founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Carrera is the Austrian eyewear maker founded in 1956 by Wilhelm Anger and famous for its Carrera Porsche Design frames. In the 1980s and 1990s Carrera produced a Movado eyewear line in Austria, combining Movado's clean design with Carrera's metal frame engineering.
