All of the frames will be able to accept prescription lenses. The collection also features Nautica's first-ever "Global Fit" frame for consumers with a low nose bridge, which paves the way for the products to be sold in additional regions. The line also features hi-fi Bluetooth 5.2 audio, 12 hours of music per charge, 99% post-consumer recycled packaging, patent-pending auto-adjusting hinges, and several branded accessories including a power brick, cleaning cloth and a slipcase with the iconic Nautica sail logo.
