The Outdoorsman profile
The original horn brow bar sits above the principal bridge and gives the front its layered silhouette. Below it, fine gold-tone rims outline the deep aviator lens shape. Amber-tinted lenses continue the warm palette, and cable temples curve away from the thin side arms.
Collector’s note
The original horn brow bar is the focal detail of this example.
