The Pantos R 2.0 | C Sun Custom is a beautifully engineered tribute to the classic pantos silhouette, meticulously handcrafted in Northern Italy as part of TAVAT's legendary SoupCan collection. This model delivers a striking play on depth and texture, utilizing an intricate sandwich construction that wraps premium, hand-finished acetate around a rigid, surgical-grade stainless steel chassis.
The innovative dual-material construction combines a surgical-grade stainless steel chassis with a premium acetate rim overlay. Hand-customized at our Wellington studio, this 4.5mm sandwich profile houses high-performance CR-39 G15 lenses with full backside anti-reflective coating and UV400 protection, blocking distracting rear glare for crisp daily wear.
- Custom CR-39 G15 Optics: Fitted with premium G15 sun lenses offering superior visual acuity, a natural color balance, and 100% UV protection for daily glare defense.
- Full Anti-Reflective Coating: Advanced lens treatment applied across the surfaces to totally eliminate internal bounce-back reflections and reduce eye fatigue.
- Refined 4.5mm Sandwich Profile: Features an updated, slimmed-down 4.5 millimeter profile that artfully balances structural steel strength with rich, polished acetate rims.
Styling Tip: Play up the intellectual, mid-century charm of the pantos shape by pairing it with relaxed, modern layers—such as a linen button-down, a structured neutral overshirt, or an unstructured blazer.
