Innovative Eyewear, Inc. announced through an agreement with Authentic Brands Group (Authentic), the launch of the Nautica Smart Eyewear collection. Nautica smart eyewear will be made in eight initial sunglass styles, with two of the styles also available with a blue light-blocking lens for indoor use. 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 retail logo. The Nautica smart eyewear line is expected to ship in January 2024.
