VALLON Watchtowers™ take an iconic 80s silhouette and reimagine it for today's adventures. Inspired by vintage sport eyewear and engineered with modern materials, they're built to perform whether you're riding, running or ski touring.
Here are four reasons to make the VALLON Watchtowers™ your next pair of performance sunglasses.
Frames made with 85% recycled fishing nets
The Watchtowers™ feature frames crafted from a high-performance material made using 85% recycled fishing nets. Discarded nets are recovered from oceans and coastlines, cleaned, and transformed into durable nylon 6 material, giving a new life to waste, while creating a frame material that's ideal for demanding adventures.
Strong yet naturally flexible, this material allows us to use a single continuous construction from brow to temple tip. As the frame tapers, the temples become uniquely soft and highly adaptable. Like memory foam, they gently mould to the shape behind your ears, while integrated rubber inserts keep the sunglasses securely in place through movement. The result is lasting comfort without pressure points, whether you're spending hours on the bike, out on the trails or skinning uphill.
Built for performance, designed to last.
Drawing inspiration from a clean 80s silhouette, the Watchtowers™ combine timeless design with modern performance. The lightweight (32g), aerodynamic shield construction is built around exceptionally durable frames and shatterproof Cat. 3 polycarbonate lenses from ZEISS that provide crystal-clear vision, protection from airborne debris, and 100% UV protection.
Available in Black Smoke, Dark Teal Copper, Dark Grey Silver and Silver Blue, every lens is co-developed with world-leading optics specialist Carl ZEISS. Each pair also features ZEISS RiPel® technology, a premium hydrophobic and oleophobic coating that repels water, sweat, fingerprints and oil to keep your vision clearer for longer.
Every pair includes three interchangeable soft silicone nose pads, allowing you to fine-tune both fit and ventilation. Whether you're climbing, descending or picking up the pace, you can dial in the right amount of airflow to help prevent fogging and keep your vision clear in changing conditions.
Plastic-free packaging
Every pair of Watchtowers™ arrives in plastic-free packaging, including a soft protective pouch and a signature VALLON presentation box.
1kg of plastic removed for every pair sold
VALLON partners with CleanHub to fund the collection and recycling of 1kg of ocean-bound plastic waste for every pair of sunglasses sold. The cleanups take place in Kerala, India, and every kilogram is independently tracked and audited through CleanHub's certification partners.
Together, the VALLON community has already helped remove more than 200,000kg of plastic waste from the environment — the equivalent of over 10 million plastic bottles.
