The Nautica N8108 eyeglasses bring together practical design and everyday durability in a full-rim rectangle frame. Built from acetate with spring hinges and available in four matte finishes—Navy, Black, Dark Tortoise, and Olive—these frames deliver the kind of reliable performance you need from prescription eyewear.
Acetate Construction Built to Last
Acetate isn't just another plastic. This plant-based material is lightweight enough for all-day wear but flexible and strong enough to handle the bumps of daily life. The full-rim design wraps completely around the lenses for maximum stability, while the matte finish resists fingerprints and gives the frames a modern, understated look. The N8108 features spring hinges—a small detail that makes a real difference. These hinges let the temples flex outward beyond their normal position, so the frames adapt to your head shape instead of pinching. Less pressure means better comfort over long days.
Rectangle Shape and Fit
The rectangle shape works especially well if you have a round face—the straight lines and defined angles add structure and balance to softer features. Available in two sizes (52mm and 54mm lens width, both with a 19mm bridge and 140mm temples), the N8108 fits a wide range of adults. The unisex design and neutral color palette make these frames versatile enough for work, weekends, or anything in between.
Prescription-Ready and Practical
These frames are ready for your prescription lenses, including single-vision, progressive, and high-index options. Nautica's nautical heritage shows up in the clean lines and functional design—no unnecessary embellishments, just solid eyewear that does its job. The metal logo plate on the temple is the only branding, keeping the look clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Nautica N8108 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the N8108 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with all lens types, including single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and high-index lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides a secure hold for your prescription lenses.
What are the size options for the Nautica N8108?
The N8108 is available in two sizes: 52-19-140 and 54-19-140. The first number is the lens width (52mm or 54mm), the second is the bridge width (19mm), and the third is the temple length (140mm). Both sizes feature the same rectangle shape and design.
Do these frames have spring hinges?
Yes, the Nautica N8108 features spring hinges that allow the temples to flex outward beyond their normal position. This provides a more comfortable, adaptive fit and reduces pressure on the sides of your head during extended wear.
What face shape works best with rectangle eyeglasses?
Rectangle frames like the N8108 are particularly flattering for round face shapes, as the straight lines and angular edges add definition and balance to softer facial features. They can also work well for oval and heart-shaped faces.
What are the benefits of acetate frames?
Acetate frames offer several advantages: they're lightweight for all-day comfort, more durable and flexible than standard plastic, hypoallergenic for sensitive skin, and the colors are embedded into the material so they won't fade over time. Acetate is also a plant-based, renewable material.
What colors are available for the Nautica N8108?
The N8108 is available in four matte finishes: Matte Black (005), Matte Navy (325), Matte Dark Tortoise (309), and Matte Olive (316). All colors feature the same full-rim rectangle design with spring hinges.

Nautica N8108 vs N8175 vs N8183: Which Rectangle Frame Is Right for You?
All three models share Nautica's signature acetate construction and spring hinges, but they differ in sizing, price, and versatility. Here's how they stack up.
Nautica N8108: The Versatile Choice
The N8108 offers the most flexibility with two size options (52mm and 54mm lens widths) and four matte color choices. The 19mm bridge width fits a wider range of nose shapes, and the mid-range price ($92-$128) reflects the additional options. If you want more control over fit and color, the N8108 delivers.
Nautica N8175: The Budget Option
At $77-$81, the N8175 is the most affordable option in this comparison. It features the same acetate construction and spring hinges, but comes in only one size (54-17-145) with fewer color options. The narrower 17mm bridge works well if you have a smaller nose, but the N8108's 19mm bridge is more universally comfortable. Choose the N8175 if you're on a tighter budget and the single size works for you.
Nautica N8183: The Alternative Fit
The N8183 offers a different sizing profile (55-16-145)—slightly larger lenses with a narrower bridge. It's priced similarly to the N8108 but doesn't offer the same size flexibility. If you specifically need a 55mm lens width and can work with the 16mm bridge, the N8183 is worth considering. Otherwise, the N8108's dual sizing makes it the safer bet.
Our recommendation: The Nautica N8108 hits the sweet spot. The two size options and four color choices give you more control over fit and style, and the 19mm bridge accommodates more face shapes than the narrower bridges on the N8175 and N8183. Unless budget is your primary concern, the N8108's versatility justifies the modest price difference.
