With the sun poised to shine its brightest in the coming summer season, sunglasses will be an essential item for the next few months — not just for the look, but for the protection against UV light, too.

Swiss watchmaker Omega might be a very familiar name for the horologists amongst us, but this is a company that does more than just beautiful timepieces — it dabbles in luxurious eyewear too. The new sunglass collection from Omega takes its design cues from its exceptional watches, and the link between the famous timepieces and the Italian-made sunglasses are obvious — from the materials and shade of the frames to the identifiable details often inspired by the crowns and bezels of Omega watches.

Pilot sunglasses are a staple wardrobe item and Omega has given the classic style a contemporary twist with Dark Havana inserts injected up front. The iconic watch crown logo features on the temple tips and the Omega logo is hidden on the lenses. Another vintage-inspired round style is crafted in an innovative blend of acetate and metal in shiny palladium and black with smoky lenses, and is defined by the classy blinkers and double bridge. If you’re looking for something with a stronger link to the watch side of Omega, an elegant square metal style features the iconic Seamaster wave pattern on the temple tips.

All three highlighted sunglasses introduced above are offered in two or more options for frame and lens colour combinations. Check out the complete collection with over 30 stunning styles on Omega’s official website.
