P3 in 23K Gold with Gray Glass 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

and extreme durability.
Drop Ball Tested

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.

5 out of 5 Randolph Never Fails To Exceed My Expectations
Joe Wainwright –
I bought a set of cheap round sunglasses to see if I liked the style, and figured I’d upgrade to a real pair after deciding that I liked the style. While I was considering other brands, I have always loved my gold Randolph Aviators I bought about a year ago, and much to my pleasure the P3s came in a timely manner and WOW are they well built with incredibly clear optics. I have started really encouraging friends and family looking for new sunglasses to check out Randolph, I feel as if they are better than any other major sunglasses brand out there including a few that are more expensive/designer. I love that they are American made, but, again, the real satisfaction in these products come with how robust the frames and hinges are, and how high quality the glass is. The rose gold color on the P3 rounds out my collection of sunglasses in both style and color and is very stylish. Absolutely recommend these glasses, and all Randolph products I’ve encountered, especially for the price.

I have three pairs of Randolph P3s, one is my prescription, one is my prescription in sunglasses and one pair is regular sunglasses. I find the ear cables very secure for sailing, and the frames are indestructible

The P3s are excellent quality as promised. I am happy with my choice and they function very well. I do have two comments:
If I had had the choice, I probably would have picked black chrome over bright chome.
I was uncertain whether the cable temples would be awkward to put on one-handed, but that proved to be no problem. The one criticism about them is that the curve is slightly too pronounced so the end presses on my ear a little. I guess they are made of memory wire so you can’t loosen the curve.
Having said that, I am still pleased and would buy them again.

I switched to Randolph sunglasses in the early 1990s and haven’t worn anything else since. Excellent quality. Highly recommended.
