Serengeti Sunglasses

Serengeti is now the official supplier to the Aston Martin Jota Sport racing team and if you want sunglasses that could just be the best you’ll ever wear, then taking a look at the world through the eyes of Serengeti will do you no harm. Serengeti was born in Florida in 1985, and went straight to the top with its incredible lens technology and general innovation in eyewear. Here are photochromic lenses, smart polarisation and clever spectral control (this helps with contrast and definition) among so much else. Because of these, Serengeti are naturally suited to drivers and aviators – for those places where your eyes must be at their most comfortable. And of course when it comes to technology they didn’t forget about the frame either.

The Serengeti Sunglasses Story

Serengeti glass was invented by Corning. The company originally wanted to enter the car windscreen market with the objective being to produce a safety windscreen that would allow the driver to see and react to driving hazards more quickly. Unfortunately, any degree of light filtration is not suitable in a car windscreen at night. So, while you can’t remove your windscreen at night, you can remove sunglasses and the Serengeti line of eyewear was born.

What Can you Expect from Serengeti Sunglasses?

Serengeti was also the first to offer photochromic sunglasses lenses. These are the ones that lighten and darken depending on the amount of UV in the air. In fact, Serengeti is the pioneer of this technology. Every Serengeti lens has it and combined with Serengeti’s Spectral Control Filters only Serengeti has it.

The photochromic and Spectral Control filters in Serengeti’s glass lenses are molecularly engineered in the glass itself too, so they’ll never wear off or wear out. A Serengeti lens improves contrast, reduces eye fatigue and increases definition and comfort as they help fine tune your vision.
These enigmatic sounding Spectral Filters work by allowing only certain light wavelengths through the lens. By allowing more red, green and yellow to pass through the lens, you’ll be able to distinguish traffic signals and hazards quicker and better.

And while we’re talking about wavelengths, look out for Serengeti’s 555 lens. It’s a green colour and so called because 555 nanometres is the centre of the visible colour spectrum of light, on the border between yellow and green. It’s here our eyes see the easiest and most comfortably and this lens maximises light transmission at 555 Nm.

Serengeti lenses also block 95 per cent of blue light, the harmful light that scatters off dust particles and spreads out across your vision.
Lightweight monel, stainless steel and titanium frames if metal is your thing, but if you’re more sporty and need the flexibility and robustness of a plastic frame the Serengeti sunglasses come with Grilamid nylon or acetate. Serengeti’s S Flex technology is an extremely versatile and flexible metal for a real customised fit.

One last thing ...Serengeti lives to be worn.
