Airlock WISDOM CHASSIS vs. WISDOM 200 vs. ELEMENT CHASSIS
All three frames share Airlock's signature screwless titanium construction and drill-mount rimless design, but they're built for different preferences. The WISDOM CHASSIS offers the most color versatility with seven satin finishes and a rectangle lens shape that adds structure to round or oval faces. It's the middle ground in the CHASSIS lineup—more customizable than the numbered WISDOM models but focused on the classic rectangle aesthetic.
The WISDOM 200 is a numbered variant in the same family, typically offering a specific lens size and bridge configuration. If you know the WISDOM 200 fits you perfectly, the CHASSIS gives you the same design DNA with more color choices. Both use the same 18mm bridge and 140mm temples, so the fit should be nearly identical. The CHASSIS model's advantage is the expanded finish selection—navy, sand, and grey moss aren't always available in the numbered models.
The ELEMENT CHASSIS sits at the same $170.46 price point but delivers a different lens shape. Where WISDOM leans rectangle, ELEMENT may offer a slightly different geometry—check the lens dimensions if you're deciding between the two. Both are CHASSIS-series frames, meaning you get the same screwless engineering and titanium quality. Your choice comes down to lens shape preference and which model's color options match your style.
For budget-conscious buyers, the SEVEN SIXTY CHASSIS ($139.70–$148.92) delivers the same rimless titanium construction at a lower price. The $11–$22 savings may reflect a simpler finish or fewer size options, but the core technology—screwless hinges, drill-mount lenses, lightweight titanium—remains consistent across Airlock's CHASSIS line. If you're new to rimless frames and want to test the format without committing to the higher price, the SEVEN SIXTY CHASSIS is a smart entry point.
Bottom line: The WISDOM CHASSIS is the best choice if you want maximum color selection in a proven rectangle rimless design. The ELEMENT CHASSIS offers the same build quality with a different lens shape, while the SEVEN SIXTY CHASSIS saves you money without sacrificing Airlock's screwless technology. All three are prescription-ready and require polycarbonate or Trivex lenses for durability.
