Man! wayback machine rocks! I just learned so much from looking at oakley's old website while I was mining data for a wiki page.
most already know the text but here it was from the site itself. Also added some photos to the first post.
X METAL
From our industrial-alchemy bunker in the Nevada desert comes a peace-time dividend for your vision. At 3,000 degrees, we combine five metal compounds and highly reactive elements prone to exploding. Why risk it? Simply because X Metals are the only three-dimensional, hypoallergenic, all-metal frames on earth. Lightweight design combined with a mad-scientist zeal for wicked-sharp optics and the perfect fit place X Metal at the apex of optical engineering.
MARS
Mars is a sculptural mechanical frame, logically structured around a new circular lens design. Michael Jordan, a member of Oakley's Board of Directors, has been significantly involved in the design of Mars. Michael's contribution to Oakley's mad science is reflected in the frame's fluid styling. Mars is available in two configurations, one with and one without stitched leather detailing.
Flex couplers allow this 25-piece blend of X Metal� and art to fit naturally around the skull. The adjustable frame includes temple shocks, interchangeable nosebombs, and all the innovations that sculptural physics can offer. Chiseled intake ports bolt the contoured orbitals around pure Plutonite� lenses to retain the precise geometry of XYZ Optics�.
