American Optical tortoise Saratoga sunglasses became wildly popular after being worn by John F. Kennedy in the 1960s. They became a true cult classic after being removed from the AO line decades later. Now theyre back and better than ever made in America using the finest global components. This tortoise look features AOLite Calobar green polarized lenses that are impact-resistant and lightweight for optimal comfort. AO polarized sun lenses feature a backside anti-reflective coating to help reduce glare and an oleophobic coating to prevent smudges. The tortoise frames are handcrafted in the US using the finest globally-sourced acetate. Seven-barrel hinges add stability for a pair of sunglasses built to last. Reviving the Saratoga to its original glory has been an honor for AO craftsmen. The AO team resurfaced original design specs from the archives making necessary improvements for ergonomics. Size 54-19-145 mm was added to the line by popular demand to make this timeless style accessible for modern faces.
