John Dalia – R01 in C501

Crafted to Perfection

The R01 in Colorway 501 explores purity, balance, and modern refinement. This unisex rectangular frame embraces a fully rimless construction, giving the silhouette a striking clarity. The geometry is clean, yet expressive. The wide grooved bridge adds structure and brings an architectural sense of precision. Matching end pieces extend this language, creating harmony between each element.

Every detail reflects John Dalia’s pursuit of excellence. The metal corewire is crafted from stainless steel and finished with a 5-micron yellow gold plating, a choice that elevates the frame’s radiance while ensuring durability. The jeweler’s hallmark discreetly placed inside the temple reinforces the house’s commitment to haute-lunetterie craftsmanship.

The temples flow naturally into titanium-colored metal arms that introduce a refined contrast. This meeting of tones—gold and titanium—creates visual depth while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. The structure ends with shiny black acetate tips, offering comfort, balance, and a satisfying tactile finish.

Lens

The R01 C501 features Clear Green gradient nylon lenses in a slim 3.8 mm thickness. They provide a light, airy look while maintaining exceptional optical performance. An anti-reflective coating on the inner surface improves clarity, reduces glare, and enhances everyday vision. The subtle green gradient reinforces the frame’s crisp modernity and pairs beautifully with the gold and titanium elements.

Luxury Redefined

The R01 demonstrates how minimalism can still feel opulent. It brings together premium materials, precise engineering, and a sculptural approach to eyewear design. The result is an object that feels light yet luxurious, understated yet highly distinctive. Each pair includes a carrying case, an outer box, and a cleaning cloth.

Pure lines, bold details, and luminous contrasts—R01 C501 turns simplicity into ultimate elegance.
