A Legend Remastered: Costa Sunglasses Unveils Grand Catalina

Costa Sunglasses, manufacturer of the first color-enhancing all-polarized glass sunglass lens, announces today the revitalization of one of its most beloved frames, 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. Whether on land or at sea, Grand Catalina is the perfect blend of style, performance and versatility.

Sporting the beloved heritage aviator shape and removable side shields that led to its initial fame, Grand Catalina’s updated construction embodies the DNA of Costa’s Pathfinder Series: sweat management channels, vented adjustable nose pads, removable side shields (offering two different looks) and seamless surfacing. This retro-inspired, hybrid frame returns to the age of modern performance, making it a must-have for those who demand bold style and best-in-class functionality 

“It’s not too often you get to relive your glory days,” says Jed Larkin, Brand Marketing Director, Costa Sunglasses. “Reintroducing Grand Catalina, now enhanced with our latest innovations, to a new generation of water enthusiasts is special. Grand Catalina defines the new standard that will bring true versatility and performance to all watermen."

Costa's commitment to quality and innovation shines through in this refined frame, made from Costa’s proprietary bio-resin. Designed with both style and performance in mind, Grand Catalina is available in a range of frame colors and lens options, including Costa’s latest 580G Gold Mirror Lens.

MSRP for Grand Catalina starts at $204. To see Costa’s complete collection of performance, lifestyle and optical frames, and learn more about its commitment to protecting the waters it calls home, visit costasunglasses.com.
