Number On Oakley Arm Meaning?

[maximumsport]

Hey so I got the Oakley Antix polished/warm grey glasses, on the left arm it says 03-700 which is the model number but after that number theres 131... what does that mean???

Thanks

To make people ask questions on message boards :dance3:

But in all actuality I don't know either, so you're not the only one.

Lol.. I'm just curious about anything when I buy something and I can't find this 131 number on the oakley site....

I'm no expert but i think 131 means antix, i just pulled out my mambo antix and it says 24-171 131

 

[maximumsport]

Nice, thanks for that!

 

[Shades2413]

yea no prob hopefully some real oakley pros can confirm this for us newbies

131 would be the dimensions so in this case possibly the length of the earstem. sometimes you might see a pair that says 55-18-128 which would be the lens,nose bridge and ear stem the 03-700 like you stated is the model number, the 131 doesnt necessarily mean its gonna be an antix, its just a measurement, the model number changes with each model (obviously) and allows you to diferentiate one antix from another model antix or a complete different pair. hope this makes sense

I get it. Now is 131 the measurement for each Antix? I know you can buy different model numbers but I don't think u can change the 131 number

In short, yeah that's what I was trying to say haha, thanks

Since the Antix only has one lens, the 131 is the lens measurement side-to-side, and the bridge is 0. Oakley typically doesn't use any earstem measurement since the arms are straight, not curved down at the back like most glasses.

(on Oakley's website, under the "specifications" tab on seemingly random models, the lens/bridge/vertical/diagonal measurements are listed)
