The Elkhart in Obscure reinterprets the classic navigator silhouette with a distinctive brow ridge and sculptural lines. Handcrafted in Japan from 10mm acetate, it features silver palladium wirecores, custom 7-barrel hinges, and serene blue Armorlite lenses with anti-reflective treatment. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide.
Confident yet composed, the Elkhart in Obscure reflects the functional clarity of early 1980s design. These sculptural navigator sunglasses reinterpret a classic silhouette with precision and restraint. First, the distinctive brow ridge introduces structure. Then, the gently tiered construction creates subtle depth. The result feels architectural yet refined.
Inspired by a decade defined by ambition and technical innovation, the Elkhart balances bold design with thoughtful proportion. Every line feels purposeful. Every angle enhances the silhouette. Consequently, the frame communicates strength without excess.
With its medium fit and structured navigator profile, the Elkhart offers a confident presence while remaining effortlessly wearable. It appeals to collectors, designers, and eyewear enthusiasts who appreciate frames where craftsmanship and design move in perfect harmony.
Handcrafted in Japan, the Elkhart in Obscure is sculpted from 10mm cured cellulose acetate in a deep black finish. The temples feature a refined triple-laminated construction with clear exteriors, black centers, and navy interiors. This layered architecture introduces visual depth and highlights the sculptural character of the frame.
Along the temples, exposed Classic wirecores plated in silver palladium reveal delicate hairline engravings. These subtle details celebrate Jacques Marie Mage’s dedication to precision.
The frame also features custom arrowhead 7-barrel hinges plated in silver palladium, designed for durability and smooth articulation. Inside the temples, gold foil hallmarks confirm authenticity and reinforce the collectible nature of the design.
The Elkhart in Obscure is produced in a limited edition of 500 pieces worldwide. This controlled production ensures exclusivity and makes each pair part of a rare series sought by collectors.
The frame is fitted with Armorlite 2-base lenses in Serene Blue. A backside anti-reflective treatment reduces glare and improves clarity. With a 65% transmission rate and Category 1 sun protection, the lenses provide comfortable everyday wear.
Each pair arrives in signature Jacques Marie Mage packaging, including an Italian-handcrafted leather case, microfiber cleaning cloth, silk fabric-covered box, and a letterpress certificate with the limited-edition serial number.
A sculptural navigator where functional design meets modern luxury.
