◼ 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 Warm Tortoise with Brown gradient lenses, this is the most wearable and universally flattering version of the frame. The transparent caramel XYLON® body glows in natural light while the VSL™ brown gradient lens delivers warmth without weight. Effortless, warm, and the one most people come back to.

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.
