The Durango PARKER Eyeglasses bring classic navigator styling to your everyday prescription eyewear. These full-rim metal frames feature the signature double-bridge design that defines the navigator shape—a modern, squared-off evolution of the traditional aviator that delivers both vintage appeal and contemporary edge.
Navigator Design with Enhanced Stability
The PARKER's double-bridge construction does more than look good. The dual metal bars distribute weight evenly across the nose bridge, reducing pressure points and providing superior stability compared to single-bridge designs. This frame holds its shape through daily wear and won't slip during active use. The large, rectangular lenses offer an expansive field of vision—ideal if you need clear sight lines for driving, computer work, or any task that demands wide peripheral awareness.
Built from durable stainless steel, these frames are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, so they're comfortable for extended wear even if you have sensitive skin. The metal construction keeps the weight down while maintaining structural integrity. Available in three finishes—gunmetal for a sleek modern look, warm yellow gold for classic appeal, or taupe for subtle versatility—and five lens widths from 52mm to 60mm, the PARKER accommodates a range of face sizes and personal styles.
Prescription-Ready for Your Vision Needs
The PARKER is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The generous lens height provides ample vertical space for progressive corridors, making these frames a practical choice if you need multifocal correction. Skull temples curve comfortably behind the ears for a secure, all-day fit.
Navigator frames like the PARKER work particularly well for round and oval face shapes—the angular lines add definition and balance to softer facial features. If you're looking for affordable, no-nonsense eyewear that combines retro navigator style with reliable metal construction, the Durango PARKER delivers solid value and everyday wearability.

The perscription was done correctly. The frames were adequate (not quite what I expected). The order took an unusually long time. I have had previous orders which were done very quickly (1 -2 weeks).
Great "widescreen" vision, including wonderful peripheral vision. I'm on my fifth set, and hope these frames stay available indefinitely.
Nice

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Durango PARKER eyeglasses compatible with progressive lenses?
Yes, the PARKER frames are fully compatible with progressive lenses. The navigator shape provides sufficient lens height (typically 41-50mm depending on size) to accommodate the progressive corridor, which requires vertical space for the smooth transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision zones. These frames also work with bifocal and single-vision prescriptions.
What material are the Durango PARKER frames made from?
The PARKER frames are constructed from stainless steel metal, which is nickel-free and hypoallergenic. This material provides durability and strength while remaining lightweight for comfortable all-day wear. The metal construction also allows for precise adjustments to ensure a proper fit.
What face shapes work best with navigator-style eyeglasses?
Navigator eyeglasses like the PARKER are particularly well-suited for round and oval face shapes. The rectangular, angular profile of navigator frames adds definition and structure to softer facial features. The double-bridge design and squared lenses create visual balance by contrasting with curved face contours.
What sizes are available for the Durango PARKER eyeglasses?
The PARKER is available in five different sizes to accommodate various face widths: 52mm, 54mm, 56mm, 58mm, and 60mm lens widths. Each size comes with an 18mm bridge width and temple lengths ranging from 140mm to 150mm depending on the frame size. This range ensures a proper fit for small to extra-large faces.
What is the difference between navigator and aviator eyeglasses?
While both styles feature a double bridge, navigator eyeglasses have more rectangular or square-shaped lenses, whereas traditional aviators have teardrop-shaped lenses. Navigators maintain the classic double-bridge construction but offer a more modern, angular aesthetic that provides excellent coverage and a bold, contemporary look.
How does the double-bridge design benefit comfort and durability?
The double-bridge design provides enhanced stability by distributing weight more evenly across the nose bridge, reducing pressure points during extended wear. It also reinforces the frame structure, making it more durable and resistant to bending or warping with everyday use. This construction helps the frames maintain their shape longer than single-bridge designs.

Durango PARKER vs. Durango MURRAY: Which Frame Is Right for You?
Both the PARKER and MURRAY are affordable metal eyeglass frames from Durango, priced identically at around $61. They share the same quality stainless steel construction, nickel-free materials, and full prescription compatibility including progressive and bifocal lenses. The key difference comes down to frame style and the look you're after.
The PARKER features the distinctive navigator shape with a prominent double-bridge design and large, rectangular lenses. This style offers maximum peripheral vision and makes a bolder fashion statement with its retro-modern aesthetic. The double bridge provides extra stability and durability, and the angular shape works particularly well for round or oval face shapes that benefit from added definition.
The MURRAY offers a different frame geometry that may appeal to those seeking an alternative style within the same budget. While specific details vary, Durango's consistent approach to quality metal construction means you're getting reliable materials and craftsmanship with either choice.
Choose the PARKER if: You want the classic navigator/aviator-inspired look with double-bridge styling, need maximum field of vision, or have a round/oval face shape that benefits from angular frames.
Choose the MURRAY if: You prefer a different frame shape or style while staying within the Durango brand and the same affordable price range.
Both frames represent solid value in prescription eyewear, offering durable metal construction and wide prescription compatibility at an accessible price point.
