DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Durango MURRAY Eyeglasses bring classic navigator styling to men who need prescription-ready frames that won't irritate sensitive skin. Built from 100% stainless steel with a nickel-free, hypoallergenic construction, these full-rim frames are designed for all-day comfort and long-term durability.

Navigator Shape with Double Bridge Stability

The navigator shape is a squared-off take on the traditional aviator, featuring straighter bottom edges and sharper corners that give the MURRAY a bold, contemporary look. The signature double bridge doesn't just add visual interest—it increases structural integrity and helps the frame maintain its shape through daily wear. Available in three finishes—Dark Gunmetal, Taupe, and Yellow Gold—and two sizes (54mm and 56mm lens width), the MURRAY adapts to different face shapes and personal styles.

Built for Prescription Lenses

The generous lens area makes these frames particularly well-suited for progressive, bifocal, or multifocal prescriptions. The larger viewing zone reduces eye strain when transitioning between reading, computer work, and distance vision. Stainless steel temples with comfortable tips ensure a secure fit, while the full-rim design provides maximum lens security. These frames are compatible with single-vision, progressive, and high-index lenses.

Hypoallergenic and Lightweight

Stainless steel offers a rare combination of strength and comfort. It's lighter than many metal alloys, corrosion-resistant, and flexible enough to be adjusted for a custom fit. For anyone who's experienced redness or irritation from nickel-containing frames, the MURRAY's nickel-free construction is a practical solution. At this price point, you're getting quality materials without the premium markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Durango MURRAY eyeglasses hypoallergenic?

Yes. The MURRAY frames are made from 100% stainless steel and are nickel-free, making them hypoallergenic and safe for people with metal sensitivities or nickel allergies. Stainless steel is a low-toxicity material that minimizes skin irritation while remaining durable and lightweight.

What size should I choose—54mm or 56mm?

The 54mm size (54-17-140) has a 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 140mm temples. The 56mm size (56-17-145) has a 56mm lens width with slightly longer 145mm temples. The 54mm fits small to medium faces, while the 56mm is better for medium to large faces. Your current glasses should have measurements printed on the inside of the temple for comparison.

Can I use these frames for progressive lenses?

Absolutely. Navigator frames like the MURRAY are excellent for progressive, bifocal, and multifocal lenses because of their generous lens area. The larger viewing zone makes it easier and less tiring to transition between reading, computer work, and distance vision without constantly adjusting your head position.

What's the difference between navigator and aviator frames?

Navigator frames have a squarer silhouette with straighter bottom edges and sharper corners, while aviators feature teardrop-shaped lenses that curve inward. The navigator style evolved from aviators in the 1970s and offers a more modern, geometric look. Both share the double bridge design that adds stability.

Are these frames durable enough for daily wear?

Yes. Stainless steel is known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. It won't rust or degrade in humid conditions, and it can be adjusted by an optician for a custom fit without breaking. The full-rim construction provides maximum lens security, and the double bridge adds structural strength.

Do these eyeglasses come with a case?

The Durango MURRAY frames ship as frames only (no lenses included unless you add prescription lenses). Standard eyewear accessories like a protective case and cleaning cloth are typically included with prescription lens orders. Contact Designer Optics directly if you need specific accessory confirmation.

Durango MURRAY vs. Similar Navigator & Metal Frames

If you're considering the Durango MURRAY, you might also be weighing other navigator-style or metal frames in a similar price range. Here's how the MURRAY stacks up against comparable options in our catalog.

Durango MURRAY vs. Durango PARKER

Both the MURRAY and the Durango PARKER are built from the same 100% stainless steel, nickel-free construction and sit at the same $61 price point. The main difference is frame geometry—the PARKER offers a slightly different navigator interpretation. If you like the Durango quality and hypoallergenic materials but want to compare subtle shape variations, these two are worth trying side by side. Both work equally well with progressive lenses.

Durango MURRAY vs. Durango EVAN

The Durango EVAN shares the same brand DNA—stainless steel, hypoallergenic, and priced similarly ($54.95–$61.46)—but moves away from the navigator shape into a different frame style. If you're loyal to Durango's quality but the navigator look isn't your preference, the EVAN is a solid alternative. Keep in mind that the MURRAY's larger lens area is better suited for multifocal prescriptions.

Durango MURRAY vs. Blik Vision 201958 Navigator

The Blik Vision 201958 is another full-rim navigator frame at $49.99, but it comes with blue light blocking lenses already installed. If you spend significant time on screens and want a ready-to-wear solution, the 201958 is convenient. However, it's not customizable with prescription lenses, and it doesn't use the same Durango stainless steel construction. The MURRAY is the better choice if you need prescription lenses or prefer hypoallergenic metal frames.

Bottom line: The Durango MURRAY is your best bet if you want a prescription-ready navigator frame with hypoallergenic stainless steel, a generous lens area for progressives, and a sub-$65 price. For brand consistency and material quality, stick with Durango. For blue light protection without prescription needs, consider the Blik Vision alternative.
