ZEISS x NRC
Achieving excellence in sports optics, without any sacrifices. That's why we at NRC have chosen ZEISS, world leader in the production of quality lenses with over 170 years of experience and technological innovation behind them. NRC and ZEISS: for those who want the best performance without compromises, with a lens in a special Nylon and designed ad hoc and made exclusively in Italy to face any kind of challenge.
ZEISS Super Nylens 2.0
Optical quality 70% higher than polycarbonate, unprecedented strength and lightness. In short, the best ZEISS sports lens ever designed, capable of performing far beyond industry standards.
The quality is guaranteed by ZEISS tests that, combined with the development followed in collaboration with our professional athletes, has led to raise the bar even higher: the final product boasts a significant reduction in chromatic aberrations, with an ABBE of 73% higher than average, and a consequent increase in visual focus and image definition. So you can be sure that you will only ever get the highest level of performance, even better than with mineral glass.

BioChrom™ by ZEISS
BioChrom™ is the new concept in nylon sunglasses by ZEISS, created to introduce a new standard in the world of eyewear. Colour becomes a technology, used to go beyond simple vision by enhancing it with four distinct actions:
-Refresh: blue lens to awaken body and mind after a calm situation, but also to revitalise after intense activity
- Relax: green colouring to reduce stress, giving a sense of relaxation and encouraging the creative element
- Focus: yellow colouring helps improve attention and concentration, reducing reaction times for higher performance
- Boost: red colouring helps increase strength and performance, providing a sense of excitement ahead of a challenging situation
BioChrom™ is the result of years of study and experimentation, the fruit of a collaboration between ZEISS Vision Science Lab at the University of Tübingen and the Behavior & Brain Lab at IULM in Milan, with which ZEISS has scientifically demonstrated that yes, colours really do have an effect on how we feel and on our emotions. A revolution in which NRC is taking part with the new WX4 collection, the best for those who want to stand out in style. Without sacrificing anything.
