CONCORDE
Named after the Concorde supersonic passenger airliner, which entered service in 1976 (four years after Randolph Engineering was founded), the Concorde is built to meet the same military standards as our classic Aviator. Featuring the iconic large teardrop shape worn by pilots during World War II, this style is loved for its fashion as well as for its sun protection.

Concorde in Bright Chrome with Gray Lenses
Built To Military Standards
We wanted to make a difference. Leave a mark. Be proud of something. So in 1978, we joined forces with the U.S. military to produce the HGU-4/P Aviator for fighter pilots. Each Aviator is built to strict guidelines of MIL-S-25948 standards, a 20-page document detailing the most complex manufacturing specs around.
Guaranteed for a lifetime. Or two.
Built to a higher standard using the world’s finest materials, we stand by each pair of frames we make. So much so, that we offer a lifetime warranty. Take them with you around the world, and back again.
23K Gold and Other Premium Metals
The same precious metal finishes found on the world’s finest timepieces are layered on at up to 5x the industry standard.
SKYTEC™ LENS TECHNOLOGY
Scratch-Resistant
For long lasting clarity
and extreme durability.
Drop Ball Tested
Tested for impact resistance with
a 5/8 inch steel ball from 50 inches.
Handmade and Detail-Driven
It takes our craftspeople over 6 weeks to build a single pair of Randolph glasses.
More than 200 steps go into making each frame – and most of these steps? – done by hand.
Metal Bending
Hand-cut and bent to flawlessly form each component.
Soldering
The bridge, hinges and other components are soldered by hand.
Tumbling
Porcelain and ceramic granules polish each frame to absolute perfection.
Signature Bayonet Temples Fit for Pilots,
Designed for Total Comfort
Our Iconic Bayonet temples were designed to slide easily under pilot headsets, helmets and other headgear. Which means pure comfort and ease. We also calculate the exact angle of the bend on the Skull temple to prevent headaches that may sometimes occur from undue temple pressure.
TRANSPORT IN STYLE
All frames come with a leather case and a microfiber cleaning cloth that doubles as a pouch.

Great build quality. Excellent styling. Great optics. Just slightly uncomfortable on the nose. Overall I’m happy but can’t give it 5 stars.

Overall – more than happy! I like the feeling of quality – more ‘substantial’ than ray bans – the lens is very different from other blue lenses. I don’t fully understand why there seems to be strict limits regarding customizing them – which lenses are ‘allowed’ with gold or chrome frames. Also it isn’t clear from the photos on the web site which model is wearing which lens making it quite difficult to ‘see’ what each lens looks like on.

Finally found a pair of teardrop aviators that fit my narrow face, got the 52mm size in Matte Black/AGX lenses and couldn’t be more happy with the superb quality.

No complaints, they look great and tame the sun and glares. I will note the brown on the lenses seem somewhat less vibrant or more flat then depicted for American Tan.
