The Spanish word for soldier, Soldado is inspired by the productive saltwater flat in Guanaja, Honduras, beneath which lies the monument commemorating where Columbus landed in the 1500s. No soldiers remain, just a long sandy beach and permit and bonefish with saluting tails in the air. Equally stylish on a man or woman, Soldado is like a classic watch: it speaks to the wearer’s appreciation for classic style and time-tested functionality. Whether celebrating the day’s action on the water or enjoying a serene sunset from shore with your arm around the waist of a loved one, the Soldado is your ace.
Quite possibly the most enduring frame style in the world, and still looking good after all these years. Rather than mess with a classic, we’ve just refined it with top-tier hinges and finishes, as well as our polarized lenses with patent pending LAPIS technology to block blue light and glare for enhanced visual acuity. You may tire of the Top Gun quotes—or not—but you’ll never go out of style.
GREEN MIRROR / AMBER BASE / 12% VLT
Green Mirror is our go to lens for inshore fishing. Our second darkest glass lens, it’s great for fishing the flats, reefs, and shorelines in bright sun. The brown base, brown polarized film and green mirror combine making it a high contrast lens that lets you spot fish, coral heads and other underwater structures against the bottom. Visually, objects appear slightly tinted with a brown hue.
