Ray-Ban 62mm Ambermatic Aviator Sunglasses
1 Vintage Ray-Ban Ambermatic aviator sunglasses are an icon of modern sunglasses design, featuring the famous Bausch & Lomb Ambermatic photochromatic lenses and the choice of pilots, aviators, sailors, and hunters for over 40 years. Ray-Ban Ambermatic lenses offer a greater contrast between clouds and sky and made it easier to see objects while at the same time progressively blocking the light and providing 100% UV protection. Ray-Ban Ambermatic sunglasses have been called "smart sunglasses" given how they adjust to the prevailing light conditions at the time. On overcast and rainy days, Ray-Ban Ambermatic sunglasses have a light amber tint to cut through haze and sharpen vision. On warm and sunny days, they turn progressively more brown to block the glare. On cold and sunny days, the Ray-Ban Ambermatic aviator sunglasses and shooters change to dark gray for better protection from direct and reflected glare. On cloudy days, Ambermatic sunglasses change to a lighter brown. Following on the success of Ambermatic sunglasses, B&L Ray-Ban subsequently introduced the Changeables line of photochromatic sunglasses and shooters which offered very similar properties but in which the density color change was even more dramatic than in the Ambermatics.The unisex Ray-Ban 62 mm aviator frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to temple with Ambermatic lenses measuring approximately 2.375" x 2.0" at the widest points predating the introduction of the laser etched Ray-Ban logo on the lenses. 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, part of the collection of a well known TV personality and long time customer of the Vintage Sunglasses Shop.
