Altair Jet Black
A navigator outline with the widest eye and the narrowest bridge in the set.
Altair pairs a 56 mm eye, the largest here, with a 15 mm bridge, the smallest. That combination pushes the lenses inward and close together while keeping each one broad, which is the defining trick of the navigator shape. Lens height is 44 mm on a 137 mm front, so despite being a medium width it carries nearly as much tinted area as the wide frames. The result is a lot of coverage on a face that does not need a large frame to get it.
Two tints, two jobs
Amber for the evening, red for the last of it
Amber lensEvening wear, indoors or outMeasured at 0.10% transmission at 450 nm and 0.48% at 500 nm, the amber lens keeps part of the green band, reaching 40.5% at 550 nm. UV protection is complete: 100% UV400.
Red lensNight, indoorsFrom 380 to 560 nm measured transmission is zero, so blue and green are removed entirely. Only long wavelengths pass: 5.8% at 570 nm, 49.7% at 600 nm, 92.9% at 700 nm. Luminous transmittance 14.9%, Filter Category 3, indoor use only.
All figures are single-lens spectrophotometer measurements from our own laboratory reports for this lens, tested to EN ISO 12312-1, ANSI Z80.3 and AS/NZS 1067.1. Individual response varies.
Fit
Will the Altair fit you?
The 137 mm front keeps Altair in the medium band, but the 56 mm eye makes it look larger than that. A 15 mm bridge is narrow, so it suits a low or slim nose bridge and may feel tight on a wide one. At 44 mm the lens is deep and needs vertical space between brow and cheekbone. Temples are 140 mm, on the short side. Anyone with a wide nose bridge should choose an 18 or 19 mm bridge instead.
