DAYTONA by SAFILO — Model DA 900/S (QA7 Natural Gold) — Made in Italy

This is a genuine vintage Daytona by Safilo metal frame finished in Natural Gold and fitted with blue tinted lenses. The frame features the distinctive Daytona wing motif on the temples and the subtle two-tone Italian metal construction typical of Safilo production from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

Daytona was one of the performance-inspired eyewear lines produced by the Safilo Group in Italy. Frames from this period reflect the shift toward slimmer, precision-built metal constructions that became popular during the late-90s minimalist eyewear movement. The compact rectangular lens shape gives these sunglasses a clean and authentic vintage silhouette that differs from the oversized styles that followed in the early Y2K era.

The temples are clearly stamped “DAYTONA by SAFILO – MADE IN ITALY”, confirming manufacture by the Safilo Group. The lenses also carry the Daytona marking, and the original Safilo stock label identifying the model and colour is present with the packaging shown in the photographs.

This example is preserved as a genuine deadstock pair and still includes the original Daytona hangtag and Safilo packaging label.
