RAY-BAN® IS FOR HIGH-FLYERS.
The legend dates back more than 80 years ago as a technological response to a challenge that US Air Force pilots were facing. The solution was found in 1937, when the first pair of sunglasses that could protect pilots from glare at high altitute was launched. These sunglasses were later rebranded as the Ray-Ban® Aviator, arguably the most famous sunglasses ever made. Since then, Ray-Ban has been at the forefront of style, technology and culture, never forgetting its pioneering spirit and openness to innovation.
AVIATOR
ON SINCE 1937
The unmistakable tear-drop lenses give a wider field of vision and boundless horizons.
The original G15 glare-free lenses were designed to ban rays - where Ray-Ban gets its name. Today the iconic style is combined with all kinds of legendary lenses.
In the 1937, the Aviator was born with a purpose: to protect us fighter pilots against the sun’s sharp rays. Forever connected to the heroes of the past, over the decades the Aviator has flown alongside those with their sights set on the sky.
WAYFARER
ON SINCE 1952
The wide viewing angle adds extra eye protection.
The shape is a mid-century classic that rivals the most iconic of designs with a culture of its own.
3D elliptical rivets are as distinctive as it gets.
Born to wander, the Wayfarer has never stood still. In the early ‘50s, as moldable plastics entered the scene, the Wayfarer shifted sunglasses from function to style and the rest is history. Today, the Wayfarer continues to challenge the unexplored with timeless swagger.
CLUBMASTER
ON SINCE 1986
The slender linear temples iconically complement the bold brow.
Also known as “browline glasses”, the bold upper part of the frame lines the eyes just as the eyebrows do.
The 3D elliptical rivets define style.
Born in the ‘80s and donned by inspirational thinkers and visionaries ever since. The Clubmaster became an icon of the club scene (hence the name) before returning to set new standards with the rise of retro and hipster subculture in 2010.
ROUND
ON SINCE 1989
Minimal sophistication starts here. The sleek metal profiles are detailed with engravings on the bridge and ultra subtle temples.
Gazing past convention, the Round is the one with a dream. Worn by the counter-cultural thinkers of the past, the Round became a symbol of freedom and the style of those who dared to disrupt.
