Four Aviator styles feature "Ambermatic 2012" engraving
Limited release at 5 stores hosting Ray-Ban Trunk Shows!

The history of Ray-Ban Aviator began in 1923 when U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant John Macready commissioned the development of sunglasses to protect pilots' eyes from the sun's glare and UV rays. After six years of development, the pilot sunglasses were completed, featuring the renowned Ray-Ban Green lenses in a teardrop shape, and were officially adopted by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1930. Commercial sales began in 1936, and the brand was born the following year with the name that signifies the function of sunglasses themselves: Ray (light) Ban (block).





The "Ambermatic" lens used in the "Ambermatic Limited Edition," released today, was developed in 1974 and is characterized by its color density changing with light levels and weather. It shifts from a light amber hue on cloudy days to brown on sunny days, blocking glare and ensuring comfortable vision by adapting to the amount of light. On cold, sunny days, it changes to dark gray, offering excellent protection against direct and polarized light.

The four Aviator styles of the "Ambermatic Limited Edition," engraved with "Ambermatic 2012," will be exclusively available at five stores: Shibuya PariMiki, Shinjuku Wako, Poker Face Lumine Osaka, Aigan MOZO Wonder City (Nagoya), and Megane no San-Ai Shinsaibashi.
