Caliber RB52 Optical
Assert yourself. This bold round frame asserts its self on
your face. The double bridge brings this timeless piece up to today's
standards.
Semi rimless means half as heavy. Fully adjustable nose pads
grip the frame to your face. Flex Beta Titanium temples add comfort
while reducing weight.
Counterweights crafted from original .357 cartridges and solid sterling silver for balance and comfort.
Prescription ready, just take these to your optician.
Counterweight: 5.6g
Frame front: 5.7g
- Less
parts, more reliable. Electric discharge machining is used to cut a
compressed spring into each temple. It will never break and can be
readjusted by hand.
-
Durable
stainless steel bolted to flexible hypoallergenic beta titanium.
Weighty solid brass is hand swagged into each temple tip. Expert
material selection and over two decades of design knowledge bring
comfort and durability to an exceptional frame.
- Fully
adjustable anti slip nose pads are solidly screwed and then welded to
the stainless steel front. The semi rimless construction reduces frame
front weight even more.
- Lenses
are the barrier to dust and harmful UV rays. Our lenses protect your
eyes from both. CAT3 UV400 Polarized lenses help you see better longer.
- 357 is inspired by the philosophy of the modern firearm with emphasis on
balance, durability and design. It is singularly focused on
performance.
- Age old artisan techniques are fused with modern technology. Solid brass
is hand swagged into titanium, to create exceptionally comfortable
eyeglasses.
- Minimalist frame front design shifts weight to the back of the frame relieving pressure on the nose.
- The new 357 line from Vinylize incorporates spent cartridge cases as a
counterweight. Each brass casing is machined and washed before being
swagged into the temple tip of a 357 frame.
- Caliber's counterweights are as heavy as the frame front and lens put
together. Like an evenly balanced see-saw, it keeps your Caliber on your
head and your lenses in front of your eyes.
- We aren't interested in building the lightest frame out there. A few
extra grams won't matter at the end of the day. It's where you put those
extra grams that matter.
- I find inspiration in everyday objects and unfortunately in many places,
finding ammunition cartridges on the streets is an everyday occurrence.
My team and I decide to make something beautiful and useful out the
leftovers of a thing designed to take lives. – Zack Tipton, founder
