The ads says right under the glasses that it's O-Matter. I think it's just a paint job after staring at it all weekend. Even the Brwon Monte Frio is Brown out nad tan in, so it's not new for o-matter now either. I think the deal with the acetate Script is a dual color mold and not just one color and paint (or a solid). It's for a Tort and Tort or solid and pattern or so on.

Almost all 2006 models looks the same; derived from the Gascan, square in various size, pretty much the same...

oh damn, they are awesome, think they will be the next pieves in my collcetion...

but today some oakley employees were travelling around Germany to present some new items! Time Tank will be released after German Watch Mess and "Twitch" only would be a name for a project eyeglasses. Think he wouldn't say something because of really new item.
attila 3.0 was there, he knows more than me...

"Warm grey" as a lens color? What should this say us?

And so much new shades with the dark bronze lenses... I really don't like them.

And I def. agree with eric and fred - the only thin new are the 2 color frames. The rest is recycling the gascan front with new stems...

I think Warm grey is the new name for Dark Grey, not a new tint. I could be wrong.

Hmmm. No green icon on the white one. Is that colorway going to be offered or was it just for the ad?

The sawtooth earstem looks like wave crests. I wonder if that was intentional since it's a Stretch model?

Could be the same deal as that Purple Icon Oil Drum we saw but never made it into reality.

I guess time will tell on the White/Green model. Maybe it happens in limited run or as a sig style. Until then, Brown Smoke here I come.

Anyone else notice the tiny icon on the end of the visible earstem?

I am told Warm Gray is a new color lens not just a renaming for dark gray, don’t know how it is different. I think that small O icon is only there in that Photo Shop rendering, probably so that if the images gets used on ebay they can prove its there copyrighted image and shut down the auction. (at least the icon was not on the two twitch I saw in person.)

Where's the polarized version, wasn't it grape or something dope like that?

Warm grey usually designates a browner grey, where as cool greys ar ethe green/blue greys. I already find Grey to be bluish and Dark Grey to be more green so Warm Grey would be just grey or a bronzer grey.

Note in Obs pic how the lens looks bronze. I thought it was a fade lens or bad printing when I saw it first.


Now that I thought about it more, it's one thing to show an Oil Drum with an odd icon, but to show a Twitch in advertising that everyone who's seen it will want, why not release it? Maybe it'll be the polar option or the early summer late commer to the line.

I can see the little icons remaining too. Dragon used to place a small D on the end of each stem.

I really like the green/white ones. Guess I will just wait and see if they ever come out. I will be in OC in July anyway. There is a couple O Stores I will hit up.

looking at them again, they seem like an updated take on the original frogskins. they have that wayfarer look to them.

Re: The green/white Twitch, there's been plenty of Oakley (wide-)releases that just don't make it onto the website immediately or at all. I suppose your local Stretch guys may have them alongside all the rest upon release.

I heard of a Twitch in smoke brown color, I dont know if it means that some of the colors wont all be dual tone or if it was just a special color.

You can see Brown Smoke Twitch online. I'm thinking the White/Green Twitch will end up being a polar option seeing as how a Wakeboarder is promoting them.

Still see the same four.

And by the way, how do you get to the stretchline section. I can't seem to find a link.
