Brands have become increasingly important components of culture and the economy, now being described as Cultural accessories and personal Philosophies.
Some people distinguish the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential aspect. The experiential aspect consists of the sum of all points of contact with the brand and is known as the brand experience. The psychological aspect, sometimes referred to as the brand image, is a symbolic construct created within the minds of people and consists of all the information and expectations associated with a product or service.

As the undisputed leader in performance eyewear, Oakley continues to advance sport technology and redefine the lifestyle market with patented optical innovations. Numerous patents have been awarded to the inventions behind the company’s High Definition Optics. HDO virtually eliminates the problems of ordinary lenses, including distortion that bends light (so objects aren’t really where they appear to be) and optical flaws that magnify images in the manner of prescription lenses made for somebody else.
Eyewear is their passion.Oakley has led the way in maximizing lens style and technical performance. Right now, it’s only getting better for the consumer. Oakley polarized lenses are engineered with a liquid infusion process that bonds the polarizing filter at the molecular level, eliminating the haze and distortion found in conventional technologies.
Below are seven exclusive Oakley technologies that put polarized lenses.
- High Definition Optics – All Oakley polarized lenses utilize, a collection of technologies that include patented innovations for unbeatable optical clarity and performance.
- Axis of Polarization – The orientation of the polarizing filter is critical for performance, so Oakley polarized lenses maintain the uncompromising precision of EN1836 standards.
- Infusion Moulding – The lens material bonds to the polarizing filter at the molecular level to eliminate haze and distortion.
- Lens Colours – Match the optics to environment by choosing from a spectrum of optional lens tints.
- Polarized Emission – This measure of polarization efficiency exceeds 99% in Oakley polarized lenses, a performance level unsurpassed in the industry.

In addition, a legacy of decades in motocross has resulted in the most optically advanced tear-off system in the industry.
Oakley entered the wristwatch market years ago with an invention called the O ENGINE, an innovation that allows an INERTIAL GENERATOR to convert motion into electricity. Today, the company produces a full array of timekeeping instruments including OAKLEY MINUTE MACHINE, a Swiss-made chronograph with 13-jewel movement and the ability to measure cumulative time, intermediate time and split time. Known for exquisite dimensional sculptures of lightweight titanium and surgical grade stainless steel, Oakley’s quartz/analogue line blends definitive styling with the precision of Swiss movement. Innovations like the company’s GMT wristwatch offer premium features such as the ability to set local time anywhere on earth by adjusting a World City hand.
