Oakley does special products for the US Military. The Bunker is probably an allusion to the secret, military side of their business = their headquarters is shaped like a bunker = see the reference below.

The coating on the sun glasses is a deposited vaporized metal

The X-Metal series uses titanium and magnesium to build incredibly light frames more durable than any other sunglass.

The process includes detonation containment bunkers where Oakley vaporizes precious metals used in coatings and frame construction. Titanium alloy is bombarded with over 425,000 watts of power at 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit to achieve critical aspects of the production sequence.

Oakley's alchemy includes advances once thought impossible. They were, until now. Four years in the making,X MetalTMis a family of eyewear named for a unique, proprietary blend of metals. Utilizing a process called NetShape Metallurgy, X Metal is engineered at such extreme temperatures and power that a detonation containment bunker is required.

Oakley X Metal Romeo ($250)
To make these frames, Oakley uses a “detonation containment bunker” and a six-ton generator to blend metals at 3,600 degrees. The result: unbreakable psycho-looking frames perfect for summiting McKinley or robbing a bank with a dentist?s drill.
