TVR 504

Made famous by the legendary James Dean and then Johnny Depp in the recent decade, TVR 504 is one of the most iconic vintage designs ever created. Based on the iconic JD shape frame, the model is meticulously recreated by hand by our expert craftsmen in Sabae, Japan; including 50s retro anti-slip strips, seven-barrel hinges, keyhole bridge, signature SPM (Sun Platinum Metal) spear rivets and miter cutting by hand. 

Miter cut is a critical technique vintage eyewear where the frontal frame and legs each lie at a 45-degree angle, creating a 90-degree angle. True Vintage Revival remakes all the original elements of the TVR® 504 using the exceptionally rare, authentic mould that produced this classic shape that has been worn by many illustrious icons of the century.

To celebrate the overwhelming support and encouraging response from customers over the years, TVR® OPT will be offering this 2022 EDITION using Zylonite material, featuring the intricate Japanese engraving depicting The Great Wave of Kanagawa on the metal core in this classic frame that comes with a modern twist.
