Ray-Ban Tortuga General RB-50 Sunglasses
Vintage Ray-Ban Tortuga General sunglasses with RB-50 lenses were a very low production variation of W1508 Diamond Hard sunglasses, identical with the exception of these amazing RB50 lenses instead of the Diamond Hards. The Bausch & Lomb RB 50 lens is one of the finest, most advanced lenses you can buy. A graduated mirror coating is applied to the base lens to create the mirrored finish and add extra glare blocking power for strong glare conditions, a unique general purpose specialty lens for moderate to extreme glare conditions. For general use, the light absorption ranges
from 80% to 90% but it extends to 95% under cold, bright conditions
to make it excellent for skiing and other high glare snow sports.
RB-50 features include "100% ultraviolet protection comfort zoned
for moderate to bright glare with an absorption" and an ability
to "filter out scattered blue light to enhance contrast and sharpen
details with true color recognition. The exclusive, anti-reflective
coating on vintage RB 50 lenses reduces back glare and sunburn problems
associated with traditional mirrored lenses. They look great with the gleaming tortoise shell "General" brow bar designed to improve the balance of the sunglasses on the face along with the matching ear pads all set on a gold plated Arista frame. The unisex Ray-Ban Tortuga General frame measures approximately 5.75" temple to temple, and the B&L RB 50 lenses measure approximately 2.5" x 2.0" at the widest points with both lenses laser etched BL near the hinges and Ray-Ban 50 laser etched on the right lens. You'll find the Ray-Ban logo subtly etched on the exterior of both ear stems, and the top of the nose bridge is impressed B&L Ray-Ban USA while the bottom of the bridge is impressed B&L Ray-Ban 62 [] 14.
