For nearly 20 years, Oakley has been there for me on and off the bike. Now together with your support, we are making a difference for the millions of people who are living with cancer.
No two plates are the same. The components involved required a ton of developmental work. And the process of putting it all together necessitated advanced, manual hand work. Add it all up: it had never been done before.
The forged titanium plates get stamped seven times. Each stamp comes backed by more than 200 tons of pressure. They’re also annealed at 700 degrees Celsius. Then they get snapped onto the O Matter® stems.
The slightest bit of stress can make HDO go crazy. So the front orbital screw takes stress off the lenses to make sure you see clearly.
Machining the Mushroom: weld, buff, mill, buff. Rinse and repeat. Equipping with High Definition Optics® was no easy feat.
Oakley C SIX™ will soon be unveiled, and it has been a long time coming. Until now, the technologies of structural engineering were simply not advanced enough. When you see the most technically innovative sunglass ever created, you will understand why the wait was worth it.
Using carbon fiber was one of the greatest challenges. The material is ultra lightweight and has three times the tensile strength of steel, but no one had ever before utilized it this way.
Specialists in building F1 racecars, the experts at Crosby Composites of London have been producing C SIX frames with meticulous craftsmanship. To make just one, five-axis Computer Numeric Controlled machines spin diamond-tipped milling heads at 10,000 rpm, shaping a 40-layer billet of carbon fiber composite for more than 24 hours.
To deal with the rigid nature of finished components, Oakley engineered spinal structures of Beta Titanium memory metal to achieve precise zones of tuned flexibility. Radial cams augment the stem mechanics, and the lenses are a showcase of the best optical technologies ever invented.
The result is C SIX, a premier design in the new ELITE Collection and a technological masterpiece that elevates eyewear to the pinnacle of engineering. And it is coming soon.

How do you gauge the world as it screams past in a blur? You slice up the seconds and seize the day. Oakley created a new invention that uses multiple sub dials to help you get a handle on the moment. When the world sees this work of art and engineering, they’ll understand what inspired it.
Put yourself in the cockpit of a speed machine and imagine all the instrumentation that speaks to you second by second, revealing itself with gauges that let you peer into the heart of performance. You don’t have to be a fighter pilot or racecar driver to know that just the sight of those dials is a pure adrenalin rush. Now imagine the same thing on your wrist.
The world tends to move with velocity, so if you think it’s time to take life out of the slow lane, you could probably use the calibration of fine instrumentation. It’s coming soon in the time machine called 12 Gauge, the new measure of precision and mark of style.
