The Balmain – Colonel channels Monsieur Balmain’s renowned architectural vision, pushing the boundaries of the classic navigator silhouette through a bold and complex rimless construction. The oversized front features engraved titanium side shields secured with B-branded rivets, adding structural definition and signature detailing. A distinctive rectangular lens cutout, positioned between the nose and top bridges, creates a striking sense of continuity and depth—marking a daring advancement in eyewear design. Produced as a limited edition of just 333 numbered pieces worldwide, the Colonel is available in three standout colorways: Balmain’s signature gold and black with dark grey lenses; a sleek matte black and grey combination with flash-mirror lenses; and a rose gold with brown swirl acetate and dark brown lenses with a black flash-mirror finish. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
