Meridian Optics Cadore Round in Gunmetal

The Meridian Optics Cadore Round in Gunmetal was designed for a single purpose: to be worn, relied upon, and eventually handed down. It is a working heirloom in the making. Meridian Optics still cuts its acetate frames from block in a small Cadore workshop, the same region that has supplied Italian eyewear houses for generations. The Cadore Round line channels that legacy directly, translating decades of technical refinement into a shape that feels both familiar and current. Cut from acetate block rather than injection-molded, the frame keeps its shape over years of daily wear and folds without complaint. The construction rewards a closer look: tight tolerances at every join, a acetate build that resists the small dents and scratches of daily life, and finishing carried through to surfaces most people will never inspect closely. In hand, the acetate construction has a weight that belies its size — substantial enough to feel intentional, refined enough to wear every day without a second thought. The polished hardware finish has been engineered for a comfortable, secure fit that holds up to daily use. It is a genuinely versatile choice — refined enough to anchor a formal look, yet durable enough to carry through a demanding travel schedule without a second thought. That range is precisely what separates a good piece from one you'll actually reach for every single day. The Meridian Optics Cadore Round in Gunmetal ships fully authenticated, ready to wear the day it arrives — no waiting, no additional fitting required for most buyers.
