Super’s Pilot series are outfitted in specially formulated contrast lenses. Studies have proven that the special brown and orange tinted lenses provide the optimum balance of contrast and comfort to the eye, greatly enhancing the clarity of vision. Such lenses work wonders on overcast days or while driving. The lenses are also further enhanced by an anti-reflective coating on the inside to eliminate distracting bounce back glare and reflections.

Super’s first full metal silhouette, Leon is an over-sized metal frame which has a single bridge, giving a very unique take on an aviator design. Engraved metal circumnavigates the lenses and is characterized by a flexible yet firm bridge, allowing complete comfort in the fit. Further detail is underlined with the subtle inscription underneath the bridge and on the nose pads. The Leon features premium Italian Barberini glass photochromic lenses. Photochromic lenses react to the UV/sunlight and get darker, thus providing for the most comfortable vision possible under various light conditions.

The Jaguar ‘QUASIMODO’ is a result of a long-forgotten acetate-blending technique from the Seventies. This completely unique yet classic piece of eyewear is composed of three various havana acetates in the same family of color, with each acetate forming a different component of the shades.

The Jaguar is now offered in a beautiful, feminine, and unique semi-transparent two-tone acetate: a color named by SUPER as simply “Eve”.

More subdued than other releases, the new Havana colors still stand out: classic, fresh, and among our favorites this season. Super has experimented with various shades of Havana for its most classic core styles: the Basic Shape in a very dark and rich matte havana, the People in a medium matte havana, and the Ciccio model in a glossy “Burnt Havana”.
