The brand name Oakley is indeed a familiar one and is mostly associated with their fine range of sports orientated sunglasses. Favoured by avid sport enthusiasts and celebrities, Oakley combines high style with full function in their watch designs and is one of those brands which has real value in terms of quality and reliability. Oakley watches are designed to suit every taste. For cool, slick and understated you can opt for a metal wrist band whereas if you prefer your timepiece more functional and durable you can choose a leather or rubber watchband.

A new addition to the range includes The Oakley “Blade” which is definitely a fresh and chic group of watches. These timepieces use the same pure sapphire crystals as used in most high-end watches and they are also enhanced with an anti-reflective coating. The stainless steel bracelet is made so that it can fit a range of wrist sizes and a funky feature of the watch incorporates curved blade shaped hands that are signature to Oakley. The analogue chronograph watch, the “Detonator” has a very James Bond-esque appeal and has that futuristic scientific vibe in its design features. The watch has a 7-hand display, a strong 3-D internal frame even measures 1/5-second intervals, elapsed time, split time, accumulated time, and dual competitor time!

Oakley watches are beautifully and skilfully crafted and really have that classic but cool edge. They are also very popular among celebrities such as Nicole Ritchie, Lil John and sports stars including Lance Armstrong and Ryan Sheckler. Oakley has always maintained its commitment to predominantly being a sports brand but has successfully diversified into the fashion market meaning you can be sporty and stylish.
