Precision, refined. The Pilot Light takes the oversized confidence of the Pilot and distils it into something quieter — a slimmer profile that commands attention without demanding it.

Same aerospace grade titanium. Same featherlight build. A silhouette for those who understand that restraint is its own kind of statement.

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 Pilot Light ships with genuine Carl Zeiss optics — the global benchmark for optical precision, clarity, and UV protection. Quiet confidence. Uncompromising vision.

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