Features:The world's first optical frame to incorporate ultra-lightweight magnesium metal within a ceramic mantle. Liquefied at 1100°F, the performance alloy is injected into precision engineered molds within a timeframe of less than 30 milliseconds. Sealing the metal in a protective ceramic mantle requires a turbine that rotates at 60,000 rpm in order to disperse ceramic polymer nanoparticles. For a secure and comfortable fit, the new frame will include spring-hinge mechanisms, as well as Unobtainium® nosebombs and earsocks. Flex couplers are incorporated at strategic points in the frame geometry, tuning flexibility while retaining structural integrity. The end result is a metal frame that meets the durability requirements of sports professionals while offering all-day comfort by minimizing weight. |

Features:A six-ton generator cranks the 425,000 watts that are devoured by X Metal® and five-axis machining maintains 0.0005 precision. Envisioned by the styling eye of Oakley Board Member Michael Jordan, the second generation of X Metal® is a sculptural mechanical frame, logically structured around a new circular lens design. Mars™ is rendered in three configurations, including wrapped leather. |

Features:Condensed cranial geometry allows smaller faces to take advantage of an X Metal® first: the fitted comfort of a spring-hinge mechanism. Changeable Unobtainium® nosebombs and earsocks increase grip with perspiration as spring-hinges control the articulation of this lightweight, 3-D sculpted alloy. Oakley's XYZ Optics® extends clarity to the full periphery of the wrapped, raked-back lens contour. Each masterwork is laser engraved with a unique serial number. |
