A sculpted double bridge
The bridge is cut with a small central oval opening, producing a thick upper bar and a separate lower span within one substantial front. Brown striations run through the translucent material rather than forming a conventional speckled tortoise pattern. Brown gradient lenses echo that warm colour and heighten the oversized aviator shape. The recorded crest and Tart identification remain useful evidence even where the factory model name is unresolved.
