Marking 55 years of design know-how since opening the first London store at 16 Knightsbridge Green, Cutler and Gross is proud to commemorate the occasion with a signature celebration: the Knightsbridge 1971. 

Mastery of Japanese Titanium

This highly exclusive sunglass pushes our design legacy into new territory, meticulously handcrafted from pure titanium by expert artisans in Sabae Japan. A symbol of honour, this anniversary edition balances our celebrated British craftsmanship with the engineered strength, precision, and artistry of titanium. 

Oyster Pin Evolution

Mastery is expressed through an evolution of our storied Oyster pin, seamlessly harmonised in a dual-tone palette of mixed metals. The navigator is distinguished by hand-rolled Oyster pin rim wire, an elongated nose bridge, and a refined brow bar—details underscored by raised gold Oyster pin temple tips, carrying our heritage motif with quiet authority.

Advanced ZEISS AdaptiveSun Lenses

The Knightsbridge 1971 sunglass features advanced ZEISS AdaptiveSun lenses, with signature ‘dark to darker’ photochromatic technology. Sun lenses gradually transition from an initial light absorption of 60% to a darker shade and up to 97% in stronger light conditions, all in under 30 seconds. This state-of-the-art system provides visual clarity, and 100% UVA and UVB protection. 

Presented in highly limited quantities of only 55 frames, it comes individually finished with a bespoke edition number, ensuring it is not just worn but cherished as a part of our history.
