Zeiss Competition West Germany

There are a lot of oldfashion sunglassesbrands out there, but when it comes to quality, for me it seems like zeiss where on top of the game in the 80's.

If you ever had the chance to get your hands on one frame of the competition series of zeiss you will know what i mean.

the temples are adjustable, the details on the frame are fantstic, the combo out of gold and silver rocks and they feel like they are build to last!!!

Everyone loves the Alpina M1, me too!!!

The first vintage shades i had where a pair of Alpina M1`s. I found them on a Fleemarket im my hometown. I rocked them without knowing what kind of classicpiece a found for one Euro!!!
After a while i realized that Jay Z is rocking the same Pair of shades in his "show me what you got" video. So i started searching for them and now im an addict to all of these vintage glasses.

Now i know that Jay Z is wearing the small version of the M1 but i really like the Big Ones better!!!

I thought it would be intersting to show who is or was sporting the Alpina Topseller from the 80's. Its not like only the Rapstars from nowerdays are in love with them Alpina sold millions of M1's when they where originally producted.

Carrera 5595 Aviators Col.:32 Made in Germany 90's

This is how a Photo of a Frame looks like, when I take a little more time for it!!!

I would say the Carrera 5595 is a classic to me, even if you could say that all vintage carrera-aviators are classics. I own them in 3 different colorways in Red, matt black and in an ivory-colorway. But i know there are some brown and other reds out there. I really like them, they are huge and i love big aviators. the temples are golden and the logo in the middle too.

Just great!!!

Cazal 312, Germany Edition, Made in W.Germany, Passau 1980 80's

This is a special Edition of the Cazal 312. Its the Germany Edition and you can see it on the side of the frame where the colors Black Red Gold are. Those are the Colors of the german-flag.

Alpina ProCar Series, BlackSilverGold Aviator , 1990 90's, Made in Germany

Another ProCar, this time from the early 90's. If you lift the golden part on the Frame and twist it, you can easily change the lenses. This one came with 2 pairs of lenses and a really nice leather case!!!
