How to Identify an Oakley Serial Number [& Model Lookup] (2024)

If you’re looking to identify what model of Oakleys you own, the first step is identifying your Oakley serial number. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly where to find the serial number. Plus, we’ll help you look up your Oakley serial number to find out the model of sunglasses you own.

Oakley Model Number vs. Serial Number

In Oakley’s world, serial numbers and model numbers are two different things.

Oakley model numbers are used to identify what pair of sunglasses or eyeglasses you own. The model number is printed on every pair of Oakley eyewear and can tell you exactly what frame you own.

Oakley serial numbers indicate when in the production run, a specific frame was produced, among other information. Only a select few limited editions and vintage Oakley sunglasses have serial numbers (before 2004). Most Oakley’s produced today including prescription glasses don’t have a serial number and instead only have a model number.

Now let’s show you how to find your model number and serial number (if you have one).

Where to Find Your Oakley Model Number?

You can find your Oakley model number and serial number on the earstems or temples of your eyewear. Typically for Oakleys, this will be on the left earstem.

On recent Oakleys, the model number will start with “OO” followed by a series of numbers. To the right of the model number, you may also find additional numbers, these indicate the size of your sunglasses, including the lens width, bridge width and temple length, as shown in the image below.
