Costa eyes up competition with winning eyewear

Sunglasses brand Costa combined two of its innovations to scoop the Best Of Eyewear category honours in the recent ICAST New Product Showcase.

Costa entered its versatile 580G (glass) Gold Mirror lens in Grand Catalina to pick up the prestigious honour and now it has gone one better with the 580 Gold lens.

Whether offshore in full sun, poling a flat at dawn, or battling overcast skies, Costa’s 580G Gold Mirror lens was built for versatility. A rose base glass lens with encapsulated gold mirror, it is said to create a crisp and vibrant view, no matter the conditions.

Paired with Costa’s remastered iconic Grand Catalina frame, the combo is a must-have for aesthetic appeal and functional excellence. 

The new 580 Gold is a rose-based lens delivering unrivalled clarity and added scratch resistance on the water. 

Designed with a lighter Visible Light Transmission (VLT), it is said to offers enhanced versatility across a spectrum of lighting conditions, ensuring optimal clarity whether out on the water in the bright sun or on an overcast day.

Further setting these lenses apart, the distinctive gold mirror treatment is inspired by life after the sunrise, the golden hour. Playing on the softer and redder light from the sun during this time, 580 Gold provides a redefined style for everyone on the water.

Meanwhile, Costa has also revitalised one of its most beloved frames, the Grand Catalina.

A true brand icon initially introduced in the 80s, Grand Catalina’s original retro design pays homage to the brand’s 40-year legacy on the water, while its updated frame and lens technology represent the cutting-edge innovation Costa is known for today.
