Now you do! That’s right – the legendary maker of watches now makes some of the coolest shades on the planet. And just because the dog days of summer are waning, that’s no reason to stop protecting your eyes. Damaging UV rays are around all year long, so protect your eyes in TAG Heuer style. These ultra-light shades are made from some of the coolest, high-tech materials – the Zenith models, for instance, use the same rubber as F1 racing tires on the arms for maximum comfort and grip. I dare you to lose these! The visual accuracy is so incredible that TAG Heuer sunglasses (and eyeglasses) are only sold through select eye doctors. And they are beyond sleek…heck, you can even wear the Zenith style (available in a plethora of shield and arm color combinations) underneath your motorcycle helmet as you strike out in search of fall foliage. Plus, the logo isn’t screaming off the glasses. It’s subtle, sophisticated. True to TAG Heuer form.
