Up for sale is a genuine, exceptionally rare pair of vintage TAG Heuer Reflex Titanium (Model TH 08470) sport sunglasses in the iconic Matte Silver and Racer Red color scheme. Masterfully handmade in France, TAG Heuer’s elite avant-garde eyewear division seamlessly fused high-precision watchmaking design with premium racing and marine-grade materials.
The standout feature of this specific model run is the narrow, high-tensile "THI" Titanium bridge construction. By utilizing premium grade titanium, TAG Heuer engineers slimmed down the frame's nose profile while ensuring maximum structural integrity. The frame front transitions seamlessly into aggressively sculpted lenses which are designed to be wider on the outside edges and taper narrower toward the center, minimizing peripheral blind spots.
True to the iconic Reflex design blueprint, these sunglasses abandon standard mechanical folding screws for a completely hinge-free flexible stem layout. The straight, high-adherence elastomer rubber arms are anchored over a flexible shape-memory core wire. This allows the temples to grip the contours of your head with a uniform, pressure-free holding power—ideal for active golf, competitive cycling, open-water boating, or sitting completely flush underneath a helmet.
Fitted with premium 55mm impact-resistant performance lenses, they feature the authentic, discreet factory laser-etched branding and complete 100% UVA/UVB protection. This is a spectacular, discontinued technical milestone for luxury eyewear purists and gorpcore fashion collectors alike.
