ATHÈNE, Grèce, August 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

À l'issue de recherches exhaustives et de plus de 400 tests sur la consommation réalisés sous le soleil de la Méditerranée, Urban Owl vient d'annoncer que ses lunettes de soleil faites à la main seront équipées de verres solaires haute définition novateurs assurant la protection contre la lumière bleue.

L'utilisation de ces lentilles haute définition novatrices, entièrement fabriquées à la main en Grèce, témoigne de l'engagement d'Urban Owl à utiliser des matières premières de grande qualité. Nouvelle start-up grecque, la société vise à faire ses preuves malgré la conjoncture économique défavorable afin de montrer que l'ambition et la productivité sont encore bien vivantes en Grèce.

Spécialement conçues, ces lentilles contiennent des éléments de terres rares qui permettent de filtrer sélectivement la lumière du soleil. Cela fait ressortir les couleurs dominantes, notamment le rouge, le vert, le jaune et le bleu, créant ainsi un fort contraste qui permet une meilleure focalisation. Le filtre Blue Light Control neutralise la lumière bleue et prévient la fatigue oculaire. Ces lentilles novatrices protègent contre toutes les sources de lumière bleue comme le soleil, les écrans, les tablettes et les smartphones. Elles sont résistantes aux chocs et offrent une protection totale contre les UV.

Le fondateur d'Urban Owl, Dimitris Diamantis, fait part de sa vision claire pour la marque : « Nous sommes à la recherche d'amateurs et passionnés de produits européens de qualité, en leur proposant un produit haut de gamme à des prix très abordables, et ce, sans intermédiaire. »

En juillet dernier, inspiré par la campagne de financement participatif de Thom Feeney visant à renflouer la Grèce, Dimitris Diamantis a lancé Urban Owl sur la plateforme de financement collectif Indiegogo. Dès ses débuts, la campagne a bénéficié de financement permanent et de réactions excellentes. Elle se déroulera jusqu'au 12 septembre 2015.

Le prix de détail des lunettes de soleil haute définition fabriquées à la main par Urban Owl en Europe s'élève à 85 €.

« Je tiens à prouver aux jeunes Grecs qu'ils peuvent encore garder l'espoir et réaliser leurs rêves », a expliqué Dimitris Diamantis, fondateur d'Urban Owl avant de rajouter, « J'ai entendu des voix accuser les Grecs d'être paresseux, de travailler peu et, en général, de mériter en leur sort. Or, ce n'est pas un portrait fidèle de la Grèce. Mon intention est de faire connaître un visage différent du peuple grec. »
