Maker: Oakley [ USA ]
Year: 1997-98 [ Gen 1 serial no. ]
Condition Report: Excellent vintage condition. New OEM rubber components, new lenses and a full tune up on the nose coupler. Original lenses and rubbers can be included.
.
By the mid-1990s Oakley had cemented itself as a leader in innovative eyewear, but founder Jim Jannard wanted something that would set the brand apart entirely.
This ambition gave rise to X-Metal, a titanium alloy that became the foundation of Oakley’s most legendary frames.
The X-Metal line debuted in 1997. First with the Romeo, and later with the Mars and Juliet
Described by Oakley as “an evolutionary application of a new metallurgical process and a breakthrough in structural physics.” Built to withstand extreme stress, they are ready for anything you can put them through.
The X-Metal collection remains the clearest expression of Oakley’s ethos, no other sunglasses carry the same history, innovation, or cult following.
Fully serviced, this original Gen 1 Romeo is as fresh as ever.
Microfibre pouch and Oakley hard case included.
