Serengeti 5283 Vermilion Graphite Aviator Sunglasses
1 Vintage Serengeti 5283 Vermilion Graphite Aviator sunglasses feature an oversized aviator matte black metal frame, but the real stars of the show are the rare Corning Optics Vermilion double gradient mirror lenses, highly reflective and with that unmistakable rose tint characteristic of early Serengeti / Corning Optics Vermilion mirrored lenses. Serengeti Vermilion lenses are "double gradient mirror and anti-reflection coated lenses" that set new standards for both looks and performance. Marketing literature from the period goes on to note that "their built-in Spectral Control filters sharpen images for extraordinary visibility and eye comfort in all daylight weather conditions", and they provide "extra high contrast in low, flat light, haze, rain or snow; in bright sunlight, the photochromatic lenses darken for superb glare protection, vision, and comfort, significantly cutting eye fatigue". The unisex Serengeti 5283 frame measures approximately 5.875" temple to temple, and the lenses measure approximately 2.5" x 2.125" at the widest points. You'll find the Serengeti logo subtly embossed on the exterior of both ear stems, and the inside of one stem is marked Serengeti Eyewear with the ear pad marked 5283 while the inside of the other stem is marked Corning Optics with the ear pad marked Frame Japan. Rare.
