Brand: Carrera
Style/Model: Vario 5316
Material: Optyl/Metal
Colorway: 11 Tort/Amber gradient
Place of Origin: Handmade, Germany
Stated/Approx. frame size: 60/17/adjustable
Gently pre-owned frame in fantastic vintage condition, with notes.
Frame: Color pops. Very minimal wear overall, no deep scuff/scratches. There is some edgewear on the tips of the nosepads and on the front of the frame just underneath the bridge, but you'd have to run a finger over these areas to find it, and cannot be felt when worn. However, due to this nuance the frame has been priced accordingly. Please scroll through all photos.
Hardware: Barrel hinges are intact, no verdegris/oxidation. The "Vario" adjustable temple system appears to work fine. Photos show the temples extended.
Lenses: Brown non-rx lenses are new!
Note these frames are at least 30 years old, and it is typical to require slight adjustments on any frame to fit any individual closer to perfect, handled by your eyecare professional.
Measurements in inches. Note that a size imprinted on a given frame may not necessarily match with the actual measurements.
