Named after French pilot Roland Garros A squared aviator shape with cut-out outside bottom corners. Reimagined from the archives. Construction is the same as the 1950s frame, but s ubstitutes titanium for material-covered Monel. Shapes are created in 3mm striped lined rim stock topped with a flat titanium bridge bar that overlaps and welds from the back of the rim. The bridge bar is sandwiched in an acetate cover, stamped with “MAX PITTION” and fixed with torx screws. The nose bridge is a slightly curved double-line pressed configuration. The nose pad arms overlap and weld just below and onto the rim front for strength. The arms have a horizontal return for easy shaping and a vertical drop to the nose pad mechanical holder. The actual nose pads are titanium in a tapered, elongated square shape—thinner at the top and wider at the bottom. They have the MAX pattern pressed to a raised format and an outer line that delineates the shape. The front connections, pressed with the same pattern as the nose bridge, curve back to accept the temple. Show more
