The Constellation: Stainless Steel Aviator Sunglasses
The Constellation is our tribute to the golden age of air travel, a sleek aviator named after the Lockheed Constellation airliner. Built in stainless steel rather than titanium, it delivers that classic, detailed aviator look with the durability and easy maintenance that stainless is known for, at a price that makes a quality aviator easy to own.
The look
The Constellation runs with a refined aviator silhouette: clean teardrop lenses, a slim bridge, and the kind of detailing that nods to the elegance of mid-century flight. It is a timeless shape, executed with care, that suits almost any face and never looks dated.
The build
Stainless steel gives the Constellation a sturdy, corrosion-resistant frame that holds up to daily wear and is simple to keep looking sharp. The lenses are polarized with full UV protection to cut glare off roads, water, and runways alike, and the frame is backed by our lifetime warranty.
