If these Tag Heuer sunglasses are good enough for 24 hour Le Mans races, Sebastien Bourdais and Indy 500 driver Sarah Fisher, they are pretty much good for anyone else. As you may very well be aware, 24 Hour Le Mans is all about endurance and consistency. It�s like the Comrades Marathon of motor racing.
Available to the general populace, these Night Vision eye glasses as they are appropriately named, offer a high-tech solution to the problem of light and changing colour perception. They offer �constant clear, sharp vision with a very high light transmission rate in order to contrast dark blue and green surroundings without changing color perception�. Nothing here says they�ll make you faster, so don�t buy them with those unrealistic expectations.
Made from titanium, Night Vision is sold with both Wide and Panorama options, and their special ophthalmic lenses are anti-reflective, offering 100% protection against UV-A and UV-B. Titanium is of course known to have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal currently known to man. Therefore breakage and corrosion are virtually unknown terms to Night Vision.
Press Release
A revolution that can be appreciated on the track as well as on the road � TAG Heuer �Avant-Garde� Eyewear has developed innovative glasses exclusively for drivers. Aptly named �Night Vision,� these glasses correct the low-light short-sightedness that everyone endures from twilight to sunrise. �Night Vision� eyeglasses optimize precision and enhance perception of contrasts for more comfort while driving at night. Featuring �TAG Heuer Reflex-type� flexible temples, they are adjustable and fit comfortably under motorcycle and racing helmets.
Originally inspired by and developed for the internationally renowned 24 Hours of LeMans sports car endurance race, TAG Heuer Eyewear plans to market their purpose-made �Night Vision� eyeglasses via real racecar drivers. You�ll see them on Formula One racer Sebastien Bourdais and Indianapolis 500 driver Sarah Fisher. These innovative glasses will be available to the public in early 2008.
The titanium Night Vision frames are available in both Wide and Panorama, with anti-slip elastomere arms. Their pale yellow lenses offer constant clear, sharp vision with a very high light transmission rate in order to contrast dark blue and green surroundings without changing color perception. The special ophthalmic lenses offer an anti-reflective treatment, which reduces glare and offers more accurate sight. A driver�s essential: these glasses are designed to maximize performance from dusk to dawn.
TAG Heuer � maker of high-end sports watches and chronographs since 1860 � has been applying the same standards for design and quality found in their timepieces to the creation of exceptional eyewear since 2002. All TAG Heuer Eyewear lenses are shatter-resistant, ultra-light and provide 100% UV-A and UV-B protection.
