Original Crosshair Vs. Crosshair 2012?

[DayTripper]

Hello,

I have a pair of crosshair's that needs new lenses. But i have a problem, i can't tell are they original crosshair or 2012 crosshair. I'm told they have different lenses. I know that they are not crosshair 2.0

Is there some way on frame to tell which they are?

They are matte black frames with black iridium lenses. Other arm says Crosshair (does crosshair 2012 say crosshair 2012?)

Thanks!

If they don't have a style number one them, they'll be the older ones. Everything in the past few years has a style number printed on the arm.

If they're first gens, there are actually 2 different lens makeups for them - one is regular and one is "L" shaped.

The Nose pads are different as well. The original Crosshairs had the traditional pad with a stem that was inserted into the wire. The 2012s are the air bubble type.

Wouldn't it be easier just to post a picture?

The crosshair 2012 have a rounded orbital, where the original crosshair is more 'rectangular' or at least flat at the bottom.
