TECHNOLOGY

Engineered in Argentina — Designed for the World

Technology

Every ORBITAL frame carries two proprietary technologies inside it — one in the frame, one in the lens. Neither is decoration. Both are the reason our eyewear holds up to scrutiny most brands at this price point can't survive.

ORBITAL ETHEREA technology

01 — FrameXYLON®

XYLON® is our proprietary high-performance polyamide, engineered specifically for eyewear that has to perform, not just pose.

Most frames at this price point are built from standard injected plastics — rigid, prone to cracking, and quick to lose their shape. XYLON® is different. It's flexible without being flimsy, lightweight without feeling cheap, and built to flex thousands of times — on and off your face, in your bag, in the heat of a Miami summer — without losing its line.

  • Lightweight by design — built for all-day wear, not just all-day looks
  • Flexible, not fragile — engineered to absorb stress instead of cracking under it
  • Built to last — resists the wear that turns most sunglasses into a one-season purchase

And on every single ORBITAL frame — without exception — the temple branding isn't printed. It's a precision metal appliqué, set into the XYLON® itself. It's a small detail. It's also the one that separates a frame built to be noticed from a frame built to be worn for years.

02 — LensVSL™

VSL™ is our proprietary lens system, engineered to do more than block the sun.

Every ORBITAL lens — VSL™ powered — is built to manage light the way premium optical lenses do, not the way disposable sunglasses do.

  • UV protection from UV100 to UV400 — full-spectrum defense, validated to European and FDA standards
  • Blue light filtering — reduces digital eye strain without distorting natural color
  • Enhanced contrast, reduced glare — sharper vision in bright, reflective conditions — driving, water, snow
  • Impact and scratch resistant — designed to survive being lived in, not just looked at

This is the technology behind every mirrored, gradient, and polarized lens in the ORBITAL collection — powering the exact same protection whether you're wearing CASABLANCA or LE MANS.

03 — PromiseLifetime Warranty

Because XYLON® and VSL™ are engineered to last, we stand behind them for as long as you own them.

Every ORBITAL frame is backed by a Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and craftsmanship. If a defect existed at the time your frame was made, we'll repair or replace it — no matter how many years it's been with you.

This warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or unauthorized alterations. For full terms, see our Refund & Warranty Policy.

04 — OriginBuilt In Argentina

XYLON® and VSL™ are made under one roof — our own factory in Buenos Aires, where over a quarter-century of craftsmanship meets the precision of in-house engineering.

It's why we can say, without exaggeration, that ORBITAL is designed with the same conviction as eyewear that costs four times more.
