Product Insights
Tom Ford Quincy aviator in one size and Taupe colour, made in Italy, with a single variant; imagery shows tortoiseshell brown/amber acetate and yellow-tinted lenses. Photochromic lenses that adapt to light, but they are not polarized. Large aviator fit: 59 mm lens, 13 mm bridge, 145 mm temple, about 50 mm lens height; the listed cm dimensions are the same numbers in millimetres. They generally stay mostly clear inside a car because windshields block much of the UV that activates them. Acetate can be polished and readjusted, but it ages and photochromic lenses can lose darkening ability in about three years. 680 CAD buys Italian-made acetate construction, photochromic lenses, metal T detailing and a designer case.

- lens_transition
- Fades back to clear more slowly than it darkens, with significant fading in 2–5 minutes and complete clearing in 5–15 minutes.
- lens_transition
- Cold deepens the tint and slows fading; warmth speeds fading and can leave a residual tint.
