Montblanc sunglasses: styles, materials and protection
Montblanc sunglasses translate the brand’s signature style into an accessory designed for outdoor wear, featuring frames made from metal, acetate or moulded plastic, and shapes ranging from square to round.
Montblanc sunglasses translate the brand’s signature style into an accessory designed for outdoor wear, featuring frames made from metal, acetate or moulded plastic, and shapes ranging from square to round. A pair of sunglasses should not be chosen solely on the basis of their shape. The tint of the lenses, their filter category and the dimensions of the frame must be checked for each individual model: it is these characteristics that determine the actual purpose for which the pair is suitable. Our Montblanc sunglasses range is exclusively for men. The design details inspired by the Meisterstück collection are more prominent here than on prescription frames, though it is still essential to read the technical specifications for your chosen model.

Which filter category should I choose for a pair of Montblanc sunglasses?
The filter category varies depending on the model. Some Montblanc models are listed as category 3, whilst others fall into a different category: this information can be found on the technical specifications sheet for the chosen pair and cannot be deduced from the brand name alone. This is the first point to check for the selected item, before considering the colour of the lenses or the shape of the frame. Assigning a single category to the entire collection would not make sense: the frame designs and lenses differ too greatly from one model to another.
Grey, brown or blue lenses: how do you interpret the tint?
The collection features different tints depending on the model, including grey, brown or blue lenses. The characteristics of the lenses should be examined on a model-by-model basis rather than across the collection as a whole. The colour of the lens contributes to the style of the pair, but must be considered alongside its technical specifications: two similar shades may fall into different filter categories. The shade should therefore be chosen alongside the category, not in place of it.
Which Montblanc sunglasses style should you choose?
The sunglasses collection is not based on a single frame shape. Square shapes feature prominently, in both metal and acetate, including in double-bridge and rimless designs. Rectangular shapes appear across all three types of design, whilst round shapes are available notably in rimless versions with metal frames. The material affects the perceived bulk: a frame made of acetate or injection-moulded material appears more prominent than a thin metal rim. The dimensions, however, must be proportionate to the face, regardless of the chosen style.
Can Montblanc sunglasses be fitted with corrective lenses?
Whether a pair of sunglasses can be fitted with corrective lenses depends on the frame and the optical design. Some models can be fitted with corrective lenses, but this must be checked for the specific model chosen and in accordance with the prescription. Three factors are therefore taken into account: the dimensions of the frame, its geometry and the characteristics of the prescription. These factors are cross-checked before the pair is approved, rather than once the model has been ordered.
Driving, travelling, bright light: base the translation on the context
Several factors need to be weighed up before making a decision. The shape determines the overall look of the frame, the material affects its bulk and visual presence, the dimensions must be suited to the face, and both the colour and the type of lenses should be checked against the chosen model. Intended use is just as important: everyday wear, driving, travelling, bright light or outdoor activities do not all require the same type of glasses. Each product description specifies the shape, dimensions, materials and lens characteristics needed for this comparison.
Frequently asked questions about Montblanc sunglasses
Q: How much do Montblanc sunglasses cost?
A: From €199 to €319, for nine models. The MB420SK, a square acetate frame, is the entry-level model; the round MB0344S is the top-of-the-range model, and four other models are priced at €299. These prices include the frame and factory-fitted sunglasses lenses, before any corrective lenses are fitted.
Q: Which filter category should I choose for Montblanc glasses?
A: The filter category depends on the model: some items are classified as category 3, whilst others fall into a different category. This should be checked on the technical specifications sheet for the chosen pair rather than being inferred from the brand. This is the first thing to check, before considering the lens tint or the shape of the frame.
Q: What styles of Montblanc sunglasses are available?
A: The collection includes square, rectangular and round shapes, in metal, acetate or injection-moulded frames. The square frames are available with a double bridge or a rimless design, whilst the round frames are available in a rimless version with a metal frame.
Q: Are Montblanc sunglasses made of metal or acetate?
A: Both, plus injection-moulded materials. Of our nine Montblanc sunglasses, six are made of acetate and three of metal. Metal allows for slim, geometric frames; acetate and injection-moulded constructions give the frame a more striking presence.
Q: Are Montblanc sunglasses available with corrective lenses?
A: Some frames can be fitted with tinted corrective lenses. Feasibility must be checked for the specific model and the prescription in question: the frame’s dimensions, its geometry and the details of the prescription all need to be taken into account. This should be clarified before placing an order.
Q: Which size of Montblanc sunglasses should you choose?
A: Our sunglasses frame sizes range from 49 to 56 mm. Note down the size of your usual glasses — it is the first number in the series printed on the arm — and, above all, check that the frame does not extend beyond your temples: sunglasses that are too wide will let light in from the sides.
