Ray-Ban W1911 Diamond Hard Sunglasses
1 Vintage Ray-Ban W1911 Diamond Hard sunglasses are part of the Survivors Collection c early 1990s, featuring the B&L Diamond Hard scratch protection system which creates a lens surface of amorphous diamond that is ten times more resistant to scratching than ordinary glass. This surface also sheds water, reducing water spotting and making the lens easier to clean. The diamond surface is permanently bonded to the lens via an ion process, originally developed by NASA for the space program. The unisex Ray-Ban W1911 Arista frame measures approximately 4.875" temple to temple, and the gold mirror Diamond Hard lenses measure approximately 1.75" in diameter with Ray-Ban along with the Diamond Hard diamond trademark laser etched on the right lens and both lenses laser etched BL near the hinges. The Arista 24k gold plated frame is impressed B&L Ray-Ban USA on the rear of the nose bridge and on some production one ear pad is impressed W1911 QNAW, part of the collection of a well known Broadway figure and customer of the Vintage Sunglasses Shop.

3 Vintage Ray-Ban W1859 Diamond Hard shooters are a rare, low production variation of iconic Ray-Ban W1911 Diamond Hard sunglasses with the same front profile but "shooter" ear stems versus the traditional paddle ear stems in the W1911. The shooter or "outdoorsman" ear stems curve behind the ear for the most secure fit possible. Otherwise, size, shape, appearance, and frame and lens markings are identical. Hard to find.
