Model not included with purchase of glasses
When you think Mercedes-Benz, you probably think of luxury vehicles. What you probably don’t think of are glasses. However, working with German eyewear specialist Rodenstock, Mercedes-Benz has crafted a line of sunglasses and corrective lenses. According to a Mercedes-Benz press release, the upcoming Autumn/Winter line will feature newly developed materials and shapes.
Wood-effect glasses will be introduced in the next wave of Mercedes frames. The glasses integrate a wood-acetate rim with stainless steel arms. The acetate frame ensures that moisture and temperatures do not damage the glasses.

The combination of the wood-effect frame and lightweight arms also increases the longevity of the glasses. The wood-acetate frame glasses will be available as both sunglasses and corrective glasses.
