The Retros C Sun Custom by TAVAT is an oversized panto combination frame. Handcrafted in Italy, this construction pairs a warm Havana cellulose acetate rim with a matte black stainless steel chassis and bridge. It stands as a reminder to look ahead and prepare rather than to look back and regret.
We customized this piece in our Wellington lab by installing tinted G15 green CR39 lenses. This classic tint relaxes your eyes by softening shadows while keeping colors true. It is finished with a full UV400 shield and a back-surface anti-reflective coating to eliminate inner-lens reflection.
- In-House Lab Work: Fitted with green CR39 lenses, a back-surface anti-reflective (AR) coating, and complete UV400 protection.
- Material Combination: Havana cellulose acetate rims secured to a matte black stainless steel chassis.
- Shape: An oversized panto silhouette with a stainless steel saddle bridge.
- Hardware: Built with TAVAT's signature mechanical watch-crown hinge components.
Styling Note: The mix of dark stainless steel and Havana acetate adds depth to a classic round shape, working well with clean tailoring, casual utility layers, or lightweight linen.

What kind of prescription lenses do you use?
We use premium prescription Zeiss lenses with all the best coatings - Anti-Reflective, Anti-Scratch, UV, Hydrophobic/Oleophobic coatings (easier to clean). The prescription lenses and frames both come with a 2-year warranty.
Can you tell me more about the brands?
We don’t believe in mass-produced fashion. Instead, we curate a selection of independent eyewear that you won’t find at a big-box store.
We look for designers who share our values: people who prioritize sculptural design, premium materials like Italian acetate and surgical-grade titanium, and an uncompromising commitment to fit.
Whether you're looking for a bold statement or a quiet classic, our collections are chosen for their character, not their brand name.
