Serengeti 6229 Yellow Vermilion 7000 SS Sunglasses
1 Vintage Serengeti 6229 Graphite Wrap Vermilion sunglasses are a unique Serengeti design that features an eye catching yellow high performance frame along with the top of the line Corning Optics rose double gradient mirror Vermilion 7000 SS lenses. Serengeti Vermilion lenses by Corning were marketed as "the first all weather, high performance sunglasses for skiing, sailing, and extreme exposure conditions with photochromatic, Vermillion double gradient mirror and anti-reflection coated lenses." 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 6229 frame measures approximately 5.675" temple to temple, and the Corning Optics 7000SS Vermilion double gradient mirror lenses measure approximately 2.375" x 1.675" at the widest points. You'll find the Serengeti logo embossed on the exterior of both ear stems, and the inside of one stem is marked Serengeti Eyewear 6229 while the inside of the other stem is marked Corning Optics and one ear pad is impressed Frame Japan. Rare.
