UVEX Sportstyle 06s 80s West Germany vintage sunglasses
UVEX is a known German eyewear brand established in 1926. Originally focused on industrial safety and protective eyewear, UVEX expanded into the sports and lifestyle sectors over the decades. The brand is acclaimed for its innovative lens technology and robust, high-quality designs. UVEX's commitment to safety, performance, and style has made it a prominent name in both professional and recreational eyewear.
In the 1980s, many sports eyewear frames from brands like UVEX were designed to bridge the gap between functionality and fashion. While they did offer protection and durability, the designs often leaned towards lifestyle aesthetics, making them suitable for both sports and casual wear. This approach allowed eyewear to be versatile, catering to both active and everyday use while reflecting the fashion trends of the time.
Presenting this sporty aviator frame with a matte silver finish, complemented by gold and red accents that give this vintage UVEX model a distinct sporty vibe. Made in West Germany in the 1980s, it offers both style and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
