The black browline Cartier sunglasses men’s model CT0496S001 belongs to the Première de Cartier line and presents a distinctive two-material front construction. The upper brow section uses gloss black recycled acetate, while the lower portion of the frame transitions into silver-tone metal, creating a clear visual division between the two materials across the full-rim front silhouette. This combination gives the frame a structured, masculine profile that reads as a modern interpretation of the classic browline shape.

The frame front carries a clean contrast between the gloss black upper brow and the polished silver-tone metal lower section. The grey lenses sit within the full-rim construction, presenting a solid, uniform grey tone across each lens. Additionally, the Cartier name appears in a fine script on the left lens, consistent with placement across this model range.

This model measures 51mm in lens width, 21mm across the bridge, and 145mm in temple length. The 51mm lens width places the frame in the mid-range bracket for men’s eyewear, and the 145mm temple length is slightly longer than the standard 140mm found across many other Cartier models. Together, these measurements give buyers a clear sizing reference for fit assessment before purchase.

The black and silver colourway and browline silhouette make this model a practical option for daily city wear, office settings, casual outings, driving, shopping, and weekend travel. Moreover, the neutral black tone coordinates across a wide range of wardrobe styles, from casual to business-casual settings.
