Ray-Ban Olympian Sunglasses

Vintage Ray-Ban Olympian sunglasses have classic cool and elegant style that looks great with formal or informal wear. It's a streamlined design that subtly wraps around the face to make them great for outside activities. The gold bar accenting the top edge contrasts perfectly with the Ray-Ban G-15 lens, and it continues on around the hinges to form the 2 ear stems which continue halfway down the length of the bar at which point the uniquely shaped ear pads begin. The right lens is marked Ray-Ban in the glass along with the small B+L Bausch & Lomb logo impressed in both lens near each hinge point. The inside of the one of the black ear pads is also marked Ray-Ban USA along with model number although it is hard to make out with the natural age wear. There is some minor finish wear to the gold plating behind the nose bridge, probably from sweat, but this cannot be seen from the front and there is no analogous wear anywhere else on the frame. Each of the 2 Bausch & Lomb G-15 lens measure approximately 2.25" x 1.675" at the widest points, while the frame measures 5.5" temple to temple. Original B & L G-15 lens were developed as a result of a navy Air Corps requirement for sunglass lens that would not alter colors, so it's an incredible lens. As a final fun fact, Britney Spears, Fergie, and Lady GaGa have all been seen sporting vintage Ray-Ban Olympian sunglasses.
