An elongated outline with an open side connection

The catalogue photograph shows broad, shallow lenses with a curved lower edge, a fine silver-colored upper outline and a narrow central bridge. Near the temples, an open loop-like connection leaves space between the lens edge and the slim arm. The shallow lens height is as important to its appearance as its long horizontal reach.

The official Futura 02(BRG) page describes glossy silver metal, brown lenses and botanical loop details in the Bouquet Collection. Its Wraparound designation concerns the shape around the face; the supplier's Rectangle field is a browsing category. A side view is needed to judge the actual curve of the offered pair.

Read the two measurement sets separately

The official page lists 66 mm lens width, 15 mm bridge, 143.1 mm frame front, 123.5 mm temples and 32.7 mm lens height. The supplier record instead lists 66 / 17 / 126 mm. The lens widths agree, but the bridge differs by 2 mm and temple length by 2.5 mm.

Those differences should be resolved with the actual model and color marking and measured dimensions. They are not enough to decide whether the supplier has a different fit, a rounded measurement or an inaccurate record. The official figures remain specifications of the reviewed 02(BRG) version.

Why adding widths gives the wrong comparison

Adding the official numbers gives 66 + 66 + 15 = 147 mm, which is 3.9 mm greater than the listed 143.1 mm frame front. This is a concrete reason not to call the sum the overall width. Individual lens and bridge measurements and the width of a curved assembled front are different measurements.

The supplier triplet similarly sums to 149 mm, but that arithmetic does not establish a 149 mm front. Ask how total width was measured and request a straight-on reference with a ruler, together with a side photograph. A broad lens on a curved frame can behave differently from a flat front with the same nominal lens width.

What to include in a FUTURA request

Reference archive-593-futura, the desired quantity and destination. Ask for current front, side and nose-pad photographs; a measured total width; and confirmation of the 17 mm bridge and 126 mm temple fields. Identify the intended lens color rather than relying on the main image alone.

The official page's metal and UV statements apply to its own 02(BRG) version. The supplier record only identifies a tinted lens and leaves the finish for enquiry. Obtain documentation for any required lens protection or material before treating those properties as part of the offer.
