Atomic Mask are Shipping!

[AtomicChad]

Dear Divers,

Just to let you know that the new Atomic Vision Mask arrived today at Atomic's home office and are now shipping. They should be in your nearest Atomic dealer next week. Call them and ask "When will you have them?"

Enjoy as I know you will. Dive Mask will never be the same now that Atomic has entered the market!

what makes the mask so good?

 

[Brandon]

As I understand it, it's not a revolutionary new design or anything, just a very high quality version of a tried and tested design.

I've been looking for a new mask to replace my lost favorite mask (Cressi Big-Eyes), and might take a peek at this one.

For anybody in the Boston area, we will have them at the store on Friday and at the Sea Rovers show this weekend.

Atomic Vision

The latest innovation from Atomic Aquatics
Atomic Aquatics continues to turn the dive industry on edge with its innovative products. First came the ground-breaking Atomic regulator family, followed by the award-winning SplitFins and SS1s. Now Atomic Aquatics is pleased to unveil its new Atomic-Vision ULTRACLEAR line of professional dive masks. Atomic engineering combined decades of diving knowledge, proven concepts, and ESPECIALLY input from Atomic retailers and dealers to create the ultimate dive masks. Customers can choose from two distinct models - the Atomic Sub-Frame and the Atomic Frameless.

The Atomic Sub-Frame

The Atomic Sub-Frame mask is the strongest and most indestructible two-window mask ever made. After talking to several Atomic dealers nationwide our dealers noticed that many two-window masks on the market are inherently structurally weak and susceptible to twisting and breakage. Because of this Atomic decided to build the strongest and most durable two window mask we could. Now divers don’t have to worry about breaking their mask if someone sits on it, steps on it, or even if a tank falls on it. The Atomic Sub-Frame mask is a two-window design built with an innovative patent pending three-piece frame structure.

This structure provides unparalleled durability and strength. In fact, the Atomic Sub-Frame is so durable that the company is announcing a LIFETIME WARRANTY against frame breakage. The Sub-Frame mask design’s strength is due to the super strong engineering grade thermoplastic frame molded beneath the mask skirt surface. This grade of plastic is so strong it has been used in other industries as a replacement for cast metal components. To add even more rigidity and strength to the frame structure, Atomic engineers designed into the frame a solid 316 stainless steel Lens retainer support section around the nose bridge. This makes this the Sub-Frame mask incredibly rigid in the normally weak area of a two-window mask design. The support is not just a metal accent, but a purposefully designed structural support to keep the lenses flat and parallel to the viewing plane. The two-window design also allows changing lenses for vision-correction needs with the mask’s interchangeable lens option.

The Atomic Frameless

The Atomic Frameless mask is all about fit, comfort, and simplicity. A large lens and a close fitting skirt work in harmony to create one of the widest viewing angles available for a frameless mask design. The lens shape was computer designed to maximize upward, downward and side-to-side vision. It is a true low profile and very low volume design. The squeeze to release buckles rest behind the lens for a sleek look and true hydrodynamic function. The masks are available in either clear or black silicone with co-molded color accents.

ULTRACLEAR Lenses

Both the Atomic Frameless and Sub-frames models offer a new standard feature never seen or “seen through” before on a diving mask. We call them ULTRACLEAR lenses.

What makes ULTRACLEAR special? Did you ever notice that normal dive mask lenses have green tint to the glass? To see this tint put you’re existing mask up to a piece of white paper and see for yourself. The green tint you see is the result of iron impurities left over in lower quality “float or window type” glass. That green tint distorts true colors and blocks out some of the light that reaches the eye.

ULTRACLEAR is a new and exciting optical quality glass with exceptional clarity and high light transmission, with no color distortion. The exceptionally high light transmittance and lack of distortion in an ULTRACLEAR lens maximizes the light available for improved visual acuity, especially underwater in low light conditions.

Like all Atomic products, the AtomicVision line is built for performance with the added elements of comfort and style. The ultra-comfortable silicone skirt is available in clear or black and the accent colors (red, blue, and black) are designed to match to popular Atomic SplitFin line.

What - no yellow?? I am bummed

 

[Nemrod]

Make it available in yellow or blue and I will buy one. N

They do have yellow and blue - they just don't have a picture on the web site apparently. From the text:

"The ultra-comfortable silicone skirt is available in clear or black and the accent colors (red, blue, yellow or black) are designed to match to popular Atomic SplitFin line."

To clarify we have the Blue in the SubFrame ( 2 window) in both black/blue or clear/blue. We do not have yellow at this time. There was a misprint on the press release.
