Cazal 6018 Smoke Blue Metal
Bold Square Pilot with Industrial Metal Accents
The 6018 is defined by its squared-off pilot silhouette and a thick, high-density acetate construction. What sets it apart is the intricate metal bridge and temple detailing, which serves as a structural "skeleton" that is both functional and decorative.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Premium Hybrid Construction: Handcrafted in Germany using a blend of top-tier cellulose acetate and high-grade titanium or stainless steel. This provides a robust, substantial feel while maintaining a manageable weight for daily wear.
Architectural Bridge: Features a distinctive metal bridge inlay that reinforces the frame’s structural integrity and adds a technical, industrial edge to the vintage-inspired shape.
Iconic Temple Design: The temples are highly detailed, often featuring the Cazal logo plaque and unique metal-to-acetate transitions that are a hallmark of the 6000 series.
Hand-Polished Finish: Every frame is finished by hand to ensure a mirror-like luster, particularly on the Black-Gold (001) and Black-Silver (002) models.
Fit & Ergonomics
Generous "Large" Profile: With a 58mm lens width, the 6018 is designed for individuals with medium to large face shapes. It provides a commanding presence without the excessive bulk of the brand's "Legend" sunglasses.
Balanced Weight Distribution: The 145mm temples are ergonomically shaped to distribute the weight of the thick acetate front, preventing the frame from feeling front-heavy or sliding.
Optical Optimization: The 45mm lens height offers a massive vertical viewing area, making it highly recommended for Progressive (multifocal) lenses and high-index prescriptions.
Technical Dimensions
Model: 6018
Lens Width: 58mm
Bridge Width: 12mm
Lens Height: 45mm
Temple Length: 145mm
Total Frame Width: ~140mm
Shape: Squared Pilot / Navigator
Manufacturing: Handmade in Germany
Popular Colorways: Black-Gold (001), Black-Silver (002), Crystal-Silver (003), Smoke Blue-Gunmetal (004)
Expert Note
Expert Note: The 6018 is an "Executive Statement" frame. While the 12mm bridge is technically narrow, the 58mm lens caliber means the frame has a wide stance. It is an excellent choice for triangle or oval face shapes, as the strong horizontal browline and squared bottom add structure and balance to the jawline.
