◼ Description

ASCARI is ORBITAL's oversized aviator — a form that references the classics and then decides to do something different with them. The signature double bridge with its triangular opening gives ASCARI a silhouette that's immediately recognizable, while the squared-off lens shape pushes it beyond heritage into something more contemporary. In Matte Black with Gray lenses, this is the most refined version of the frame — where the gloss version commands, the matte version holds authority quietly. The soft matte XYLON® finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating a presence that's confident without being loud. Paired with a VSL™ gray lens for the cleanest, most versatile combination in the collection.

Named after Alberto Ascari — the first Italian driver to win the Formula 1 World Championship twice. A frame that knows where it comes from and where it's going. Finished with high-quality metal hardware on every temple.
