Comparing Elasta 3070 to Similar Models
If you're considering the Elasta 3070, you might also be weighing other models in the Elasta 3000 series. Here's how they stack up.
Elasta 3070 vs. Elasta 3055
Both frames feature full-rim stainless steel construction with spring hinges, but the key difference lies in the bridge width. The 3070 has a 17mm bridge, while the 3055 uses a 15mm bridge—a narrower fit that may work better for those with closer-set eyes or a slimmer nose bridge. The 3055 also offers different sizing options (55mm, 57mm, 59mm lens widths) and comes in Rose Gold and Gray Marble finishes. If you prefer a slightly more compact fit across the nose, the 3055 is worth trying. Otherwise, the 3070's wider bridge provides more adjustability through the nose pads.
Elasta 3070 vs. Elasta 3060
The 3060 sits at the same price point as the 3070 and shares Safilo's quality construction, but the specific frame shape and measurements differ. While both are rectangle frames designed for professional wear, the 3060 may have variations in lens height or temple design that affect how they look on your face. Check the detailed measurements if you're deciding between these two—the 3070's double bridge design is more visually distinctive, while the 3060 may offer a cleaner, more minimalist look.
Elasta 3070 vs. Elasta 3069
The 3069 takes a slightly different design direction with an 18mm bridge width—the widest of the three comparisons—making it ideal for those who need more room across the nose. It also features a navigator-inspired shape that leans more toward aviator styling compared to the 3070's classic rectangle. If you have a wider face or prefer a bit more visual flair, the 3069 is a strong alternative. However, the 3070's traditional rectangle shape is more universally flattering and works better in conservative professional settings.
Our recommendation: The Elasta 3070 hits the sweet spot for most wearers with its 17mm bridge, versatile rectangle shape, and distinctive double bridge design. It's the best choice if you want a professional look that works in any setting, with enough adjustability to fit a wide range of face shapes and sizes.
