Oakley Mars Crater X Metal Black Iridium Sunglasses
1 Vintage Oakley Mars Crater sunglasses are a sleek futuristic design, a matte gray X-Metal masterpiece with original Oakley Black Iridium lenses in an icon of modern sunglasses design. Produced for only a few years, vintage Oakley Mars and Mars Crater sunglasses were originally fashioned after the needs of basketball superstar Michael Jordan, then a Board Member of Oakley. The Mars Crater features the distinctive raised round pinpoint holes on each side of the lenses that sets them apart from the vintage Oakley Mars. Like the Mars 2 years before them Mars Crater sunglasses are made of the revolutionary Oakley X Metal, an alloy composition of 5 distinct (and proprietary - thus the "X" moniker) metals. We do know Oakley X Metal sunglasses are partially formed with titanium, a notoriously difficult metal to work with. For this titanium and other metal elements to attain a malleable consistency, a temperature of over 3000 degrees must be reached, and Oakley built a new facility with a 6 ton, 425,000 watt generator on site along with custom machining tools to produce X Metal and these vintage Mars Crater sunglasses. Ear stems and nose bridge are attached by a joint that allows them to move independent of each other for great fit. The unisex Oakley Mars Crater frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to temple, and the Black Iridium lenses measure approximately 1.675" in diameter. You'll find the impressed serial number on one ear stem near the hinge, rubber "25" inserts covering the two hinge joints for the stems, and one ear pad is impressed Made in USA and the other is impressed CE.
