Grandeur Umber Brown
The widest bridge and the smallest eye in the range, cut from a solid block of acetate.
Grandeur is the extreme of one idea: a 48 mm eye, the smallest we make, carried on a 23 mm bridge, the widest. The lens sits far out from the nose and high on the face, so a small rectangle still delivers 40 mm of depth over the pupil. It is hand-cut from Italian cellulose acetate and polished across more than sixty separate steps, which is why the 142 mm front holds a crisp edge instead of a moulded one. Temples run 148 mm. For a narrow face that cannot tolerate bridge pressure, nothing else here comes close.

FL-41 LightEveryday indoor filteringThe lighter of the two rose tints, drawn for all-day indoor wear. It cuts the same rose-band notch as FL-41 Dark but at a higher overall transmittance. The full spectrophotometer report for this tint is being finalized and will be published here. 100% UV protection (UV400).
FL-41 DarkBright rooms and glareThis is the darker of the two rose lenses. It reads 7.9% at 420 nm, 13.8% at 450 nm and 12.6% at 520 nm, then releases the long end, 44.2% at 570 nm and 100% above 670 nm. UV protection is complete at UV400.
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 Grandeur fit you?
Grandeur is medium overall at 142 mm but built around extremes: a 48 mm eye and a 23 mm bridge, the widest nose opening in the range. It suits a low or broad nose bridge and anyone who gets pressure marks from standard fittings. The 40 mm lens is deep relative to the small eye, so coverage is better than the outline implies. Temples are 148 mm, slightly long. A wide face will find the 48 mm eye too small.
