The shape that defined a generation — finally executed the way it was always meant to be worn.

The AV22 Aviator takes the most iconic silhouette in eyewear history and rebuilds it in aerospace grade titanium. Lighter than any equivalent on the market. More durable than anything you've worn before. This is the aviator without compromise.

Handmade in Fukui, Japan. Worn anywhere.

Previously carried by Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdale's, Liberty London and Monocle. Now exclusively at Atelier Vingt-Deux®.

Carl Zeiss lenses. Every Aviator ships with genuine Carl Zeiss optics — the global benchmark for optical precision, clarity, and UV protection. An icon, made complete.

24ct gold plated. The Matte Yellow Gold Brushed and Polished Pink Gold finishes are 24ct gold plated over titanium — the standard a jeweller would specify, applied to eyewear.
