GRAND PRIX

Grand prix

COLOR: TITAN

YEAR: SUMMER 2023

EDITION: 00/500

FRAME STAMP: JMMGP-6W

HANDCRAFTED IN JAPAN

Look unbothered at 180 mph in daring ’70s-inspired aviators recalling the oversized driving glasses of the Grand Prix’s heyday, when the paddock drew drivers, celebrities, photographers, and an assortment of beautiful troublemakers from Monaco to Monza. Wide, deep lenses give the silhouette an audacious span, while long, artfully cut temples draw its strapping front into a jaunty profile.

By the 1970s, Grand Prix racing had gone global in both speed and spectacle. The calendar moved between storied circuits and resort cities, carrying drivers whose tenacity and personal style made them emblems of a freer, more flamboyant age. The aviator became one of the era’s defining signatures, letting one preserve an air of composure behind tinted lenses, defying the extraordinary risks that gave the sport its charge.

The GRAND PRIX’s expansive front has the distinctive sweep of period driving glasses, allowing force and finesse to coexist within the same silhouette. Daring in proportion and impeccably resolved, these are spectacles shaped by an era when speed held the world’s attention and style held its own against the noise.
