Caviar, a company known for adding precious metals to consumer electronics, has released a customized version of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer II smart glasses. The new collection, called Odyssey, takes the standard wearable device and adds materials like 24-karat gold, sterling silver, and crocodile leather.
Design Details
The collection consists of two specific models. The standard Odyssey version features decorative plaques plated in 24-karat gold, while the Odyssey Silver model uses 22-karat sterling silver inserts. Both designs are built onto the standard black Wayfarer frames. According to Caviar, the metal accents are forged, engraved, and polished by hand. The engravings incorporate Greek motifs, and the temples include star-shaped black enamel details.
Production for both models is strictly capped. Caviar is manufacturing 24 units of each version, a number chosen to match the 24 books of Homer’s Odyssey. The customization also applies to the charging case included with the glasses. Caviar has wrapped the standard Ray-Ban charging case in black crocodile leather and added its own emblem to the clasp.
Underneath the custom exterior, the internal hardware remains unchanged. The glasses retain all the original features of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer II. You can still use the built-in camera to take photos and record video, listen to audio through the open-ear speakers, and use the touch controls and AI voice assistant. The internal battery, camera sensors, and processors are identical to the standard retail version.
From a practical standpoint, Caviar has not specified how much weight these metal additions add to the frames. Weight is generally a key factor in the daily comfort of smart glasses.
Pricing and Availability
The 24K gold Odyssey model is priced at $6,130, and the 22K sterling silver Odyssey Silver is listed at $6,840. Both versions are currently available to order through the company’s website.
In related news, Caviar has launched the ultra-luxury Galaxy Z Fold 8 collection with cinematic icons alongside limited-edition Messi and Ronaldo phones with 24K gold finishes.
