About the brand and product
H.OPTICAL
H.OPTICAL is an eyewear brand that proposes “vintage for the next era.”
Drawing on American vintage styles from the 1950s through the early 1970s, the brand offers eyewear that blends naturally with contemporary style.
Introducing
Inspired by iconic American vintage safety glasses from the 1950s and ’60s, the H-17 has been reimagined through H. OPTICAL’s distinctive lens.
The original was created as a work frame for American engineers and technicians.
In pursuit of durability and functionality, its beautiful design was refined by removing all unnecessary details.
This timeless design, born from functionality, was eventually celebrated as fashion eyewear and continues to be loved across generations.
While retaining its perfectly balanced design, the H-17 features a sharper line across the entire front.
Edgy cuts add a contemporary touch to its classic appearance.
Made with acetate of moderate thickness and restrained volume, it feels lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear.
It strikes a balance that preserves its vintage character while blending naturally with modern styles.
On both sides of the front are original cross-motif rivets that define the H-17.
The brand’s attention to detail is evident throughout.
Rather than faithfully reproducing a vintage design, this frame carries forward the essence of an icon, reimagined for contemporary life.
This photochromic model changes lens color in response to ultraviolet light.
The lenses are nearly clear indoors, then darken outdoors in response to UV light, making them suitable as sunglasses, too.
A note from our staff
A rugged vintage-inspired frame that still looks refined when worn.
Its moderate volume is just right, and it blends naturally into everyday outfits!
Personally, I think it pairs exceptionally well with biker style.
This is a frame we’d love to see you wear with a rugged look!
