Gold Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses are a timeless style icon, combining classic design with high-quality sun protection.

About this subject

The Ray-Ban Aviator was created in 1937 by Bausch & Lomb under commission from the United States Army Air Corps. The original model, called 'Anti-Glare', was designed to protect pilots from solar rays at high altitudes, using green lenses that reduced glare without distorting colors. The gold frame, made of lightweight metal, provided durability and elegance. After World War II, the glasses gained popularity among civilians, especially after the 1986 film 'Top Gun' where Tom Cruise wore them. Since then, gold Aviators have become a symbol of rebellion and sophistication, adopted by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts. The current version maintains the same design, with polarized or mirrored lenses, and is manufactured by Ray-Ban, a brand owned by Luxottica. The combination of gold frame with green or blue lenses is the most classic. Interestingly, the model was one of the first to use mineral glass lenses, offering superior optical clarity. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, gold Aviators provide 100% protection against UVA and UVB rays, recommended by ophthalmologists for sunny days.
