Refined Aviator with Avant-Garde Detailing
The 186 is defined by its oversized, rounded-edge aviator shape. Unlike the aggressive, blocky silhouettes of the 600 series, the 186 offers a softer, more fluid geometry while maintaining the bold presence and high-end material mix Cazal is famous for.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Premium Hybrid Construction: Handcrafted in Germany using a blend of high-quality cellulose acetate and corrosion-resistant Monel metal. This allows the frame to be strong and easily adjustable while remaining relatively lightweight.
Laminated Visual Effects: The acetate is often laminated or layered to create unique depth, especially in the "crystal" colorways where internal structural details are visible.
Art-Fakt Design Language: Part of Cazal’s more artistic line, featuring intricate temple carvings and a bridge design that serves as a focal point of the frame's architecture.
Hand-Polished Finish: Every frame undergoes extensive manual polishing to achieve a high-luster finish that enhances the vibrant color combinations.
Fit & Ergonomics
Large Vertical Field: With a 47mm lens height, the 186 is highly recommended for Progressive lenses. The deep vertical space ensures a smooth transition between distance and reading zones.
Feminine-Leaning Unisex Appeal: While technically a unisex design, its softer, rounded edges and color palettes (like Crystal-Rose) make it particularly popular as a oversized statement frame for women.
Comfort-Balanced Temples: The 130mm temples are shorter than standard XL frames, ensuring they hug the head securely without extending too far behind the ear, which is ideal for those with medium-sized heads wearing oversized fronts.
Technical Dimensions

Expert Note
Expert Note: The 186 is a "hidden gem" for those who find the Cazal 607 too masculine or heavy. Its 12mm bridge is quite narrow, which is excellent for keeping such a large lens (59mm) from sliding down or resting on the cheeks. The Black-Violet (003) is a standout for those wanting a moody, editorial look.
