Ray-Ban New Aviator: The Classic Shape, Refined
The Ray-Ban New Aviator carries forward the silhouette that defined modern sunglasses while sharpening every detail. A sculpted metal frame holds crystal lenses shaped to the iconic teardrop profile, delivering the optical clarity and coverage that made Aviators legendary and keeping them relevant for every generation that follows.
Crystal Lenses and 100% UV Protection
Every lens is ground from optical-grade crystal glass, not polycarbonate. Crystal offers superior scratch resistance, higher optical clarity, and a weight and feel that plastic cannot match. Each lens is coated with 100% UV protection, blocking the full spectrum of UVA and UVB rays. The lenses are non-polarized, giving you true color rendering without the visual filtering that polarization introduces.
Lens width is 58 millimeters, lens height is 49.9 millimeters. The double-bridge bar, a signature detail of the Aviator lineage, stiffens the frame and anchors the look.
Metal Frame Construction
The frame is constructed from metal throughout. Metal Aviator frames flex slightly under handling, recover their shape, and conform to the face over time in a way that acetate frames do not. The temples measure 135 millimeters and terminate in classic tips that secure the fit at the ear. The bridge spans 14 millimeters, sitting comfortably across a range of nose profiles.
What's in the Box
Each pair ships with a Ray-Ban branded hard case and a microfiber cleaning cloth. The case protects the crystal lenses from contact scratches when the glasses are not being worn. The cleaning cloth removes oils and dust without abrading the UV coating.
