Magnesium Alloy [ Denim / Black Iridium ] M-Frame Sunglasses by Oakley c. 2002
For a brief period in the early 2000s, Oakley swapped out their usual plastic O-Matter construction for an experimental Magnesium Alloy, produced for only 2 years.
The frame is constructed from lightweight magnesium alloy, an unusually advanced material choice for eyewear, offering high strength and rigidity at exceptionally low weight. The rare Magnesium version uses a precisely formed metal chassis, giving the piece a distinctly technical character.
This example retains its original lens in exceptional, scratch-free condition. Removable and replaceable through the use of recessed torx screws.
Finished in a denim blue, with Oakley branding and technical detailing throughout. A particularly scarce and collectible branch of the M-Frame family, representing Oakley at its most experimental, where industrial design, sports technology and material engineering converge.
