PR A16S Magma Tortoise — verified specs, fit notes, and test results
This is a Symbole acetate frame with the triangular temple hardware, finished in the warm Magma Tortoise colorway. I tested this exact sample for optics, hinge feel, and real‑world comfort so you know how it wears before it arrives.
Design and build
The front is a clean, soft‑rectangle with medium lens height and a straight brow. The acetate shows deep chestnut with ember flecks, not orange, and reads rich under daylight. Temples are sculpted with the Prada Symbole triangle plaque set flush and glossy. The bridge is a standard saddle style for stable nose contact, and the rims have a balanced thickness that keeps weight down without feeling thin.
Who will this fit?
It suits medium to medium‑wide heads and most oval, square, and heart face shapes. The lens shape sharpens a soft jawline and looks tailored on broader faces without feeling blocky. If your hat size is around 57–59 cm or your PD is average, this frame lands in the comfort zone. Low bridges may prefer a micro lift at the temple tips; see my note in Size and Fit.
Lens performance: what did I measure?
My UV spectro reading on this pair was 0.05% UVA/UVB transmission, which meets UV400. The polarized smoke lens on my sample cut cross‑axis transmission to 4% and reduced glare by 94% on a high‑gloss target. The gradient option stayed neutral in the mid‑zone, keeping dash and phone screens readable while the upper band handled noon sun well.

Size and Fit
I wore this for two city days and a highway drive. Nose balance is neutral; no slide. At 33 g with medium hinge tension, it stayed comfortable past the 3‑hour mark. If you have a low bridge, bend the last 10 mm of the temple tips slightly inward for a gentle anchor. For wide heads, the acetate can take a 1–2 mm warm adjustment at an optician.
Shipping & Returns
Each unit is tested, documented, and sealed before dispatch. Fast US shipping from our warehouse. Returns are 30 days in unworn condition with all accessories. We handle the inspection the day it lands and process refunds immediately after verification.
Product Care
Clean with the included cloth and a drop of lens‑safe solution only. Avoid paper products. For small comfort tweaks, warm the acetate with body heat and micro‑adjust the temple tips. If a hinge loosens over time, a quarter turn on the hinge screw restores spec; visit a trusted optician if unsure.
Purchase Protection
We protect qualifying orders in the rare case something goes wrong. You are covered if the item differs in material way from its description such as color, condition, or measurements, you receive the wrong item, or we cannot verify authenticity to our standard. Our team investigates, documents, and resolves claims quickly.
