Viesturs in Havana Tortoise / 24k Gold (The Vault)

A rare artifact from the Leisure Society archive, this limited-edition design pays tribute to the legendary climber Ed Viesturs. The round silhouette is sculpted from Japanese cotton-based acetate and anchored by a keyhole bridge with an enamel-filled metal crossbar that adds a note of quiet distinction. The temples carry an understated enameled plaque, a signature detail reserved for pieces of exceptional pedigree.

Engineered with polarized CR-39 lenses featuring our hydrophobic finish and proprietary UGR12™ twelve-layer anti-reflective coating, the frame offers 99.9% distortion-free clarity, full UVA/UVB protection, and Diamond Cast™ durability. As with all Vault creations, each piece is individually numbered and handcrafted in Japan by master artisans, embodying the pinnacle of rarity, precision, and California-bred refinement.
