Metro Jet Black
A plain square that does its job at dusk and gets out of the way.
Metro keeps the outline deliberately quiet: a 54 mm eye in a simple square, a 16 mm bridge and 145 mm temples, carried on a 135 mm front. That front width sits squarely in the medium band, so the frame lands where most people are already used to glasses landing instead of perching wide on the temples. The 32 mm lens height is the shallow end of our range, which keeps the tinted field low and close to the brow and stops the frame reading heavy under a lamp. It suits anyone who wants an evening pair they never have to think about.
Two tints, two jobs
Amber through the evening, red for the last hour
Amber lensEvening wear, indoors or outMeasured transmission at 450 nm, the melanopsin peak, is 0.10%. From 0.48% at 500 nm the curve climbs to 40.5% at 550 nm, so part of the green band is preserved. Luminous transmittance is 50.5%, Filter Category 1, rated for indoor and outdoor use.
Red lensThe final stretch before lights outFrom 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 Metro fit you?
At 135 mm across the front, Metro is a medium frame and suits a face that measures roughly the same between the temples. The 54 mm eye with a 16 mm bridge gives a standard nose fit rather than a narrow or a wide one. A lens height of 32 mm is shallow, so the lower rim will sit above the cheekbone on most faces. Temples run 145 mm, the common length. If your current glasses already feel wide, size down from here.
