The thin, metallic rectangular design of this pair evokes the Wire range, which has established itself as a standard among eyeglass wearers looking for technical robustness and visual sobriety . (Inscriptions on the temple have been erased by time)

The technological shift in eyewear: Oakley and the sport/design fusion

In the 1990s and early 2000s, Oakley established itself as a pioneer in performance eyewear that transcended the realm of sport. While traditional brands were still focusing on fashion or elegance, Oakley developed an aesthetic of visual efficiency : precision optics, industrial materials, and temples sculpted for aerodynamics. This type of frame embodied an era where style became an extension of function .

Know-how inspired by military engineering

Oakley, founded in California in 1975, was initially a brand specializing in motocross accessories. From the 1990s onwards, it adopted a paramilitary and industrial aesthetic , incorporating technologies derived from ballistic research: Plutonite® lenses , titanium or specific alloy frames, and visible screws.

Detailed description

Cette monture fine en métal argenté, aux lignes nettes et au design fonctionnel, évoque les modèles de la gamme Wire de la marque californienne Oakley, bien que son identification exacte soit rendue difficile par l'effacement des inscriptions.

Conçue dans le courant des années 1990 à 2000, elle reflète une période où Oakley s'oriente vers la performance technique.

Fondée en 1975 en Californie, la marque adopte à cette époque une esthétique inspirée de l’ingénierie militaire et des sports extrêmes, intégrant des matériaux avancés comme le Plutonite® pour les verres ou des alliages métalliques légers pour les montures.

Ce modèle est équipé de verres solaires neufs en polycarbonate, protection UV400, teinte catégorie 3. Les branches présentent une forme sculptée typique des productions Oakley de cette période.

Ce type de monture a été couramment associé à l’univers du BMX, de la course automobile ou du cinéma de science-fiction.

Elle est aujourd’hui recherchée pour son style épuré et technique, caractéristique des lunettes de performance des années 90-2000.

FAQ

Vintage glasses?

What is it?

For us, vintage eyeglasses are more than 20 years old. This means they were made before 2005. You'll find original frames with us, dating from around 1910 to 2010.

Are they new?

Almost! In our collections, you'll find so-called "dead stock" eyeglass frames—which means they're vintage but still new—and others that have already had a life and have been worn.

ALL frames have been refurbished in our workshop near Lyon, cleaned, repolished, repaired, pampered, and more. And most importantly, the lenses are all new and selected for their quality, meeting the same standards as those you'll find at your optician.
