Rivets and silhouette
A relatively level upper line meets softly rounded rectangular lens openings, with a keyhole bridge opening at the centre. Horizontal rectangular rivets provide a clear contrast to the diamond hardware on the smoke-gray USS frame elsewhere in the collection. The pink lenses lighten the visual effect of the opaque black material. Broad temples continue the weight of the front into the side view.
