Ray-Ban launches Aviator folding ultra limited edition

In celebration of their 75^th jubilee, eyewear label Ray-Ban presents a new, exclusive version of the Aviator model made out of 22-carat yellow gold and white gold. The limited edition of “Ray-Ban Aviator folding ultra” will be available in two different sizes, 55 and 58, and three different variations of colors in selected optometrists and on ray-ban.com.  

Besides the release of the Ray-Ban Aviator Folding Ultra, the US label also developed the Ray-Ban Ambermatic 2012 Limited Edition in March 2012 to celebrate their 75^th anniversary.  

The folding mechanism of the framework enables to easily fold the glasses, while it still has a strong resilience. There are eight hinges at the ends of the temple stems, between the ends of the temple stems and the front of the frame and on the nose bridge.

In 1937 developed for fighter pilots of the US Air Force to protect their eyes from the glace of the sunlight, the Ray-Ban Aviator with its drop shape soon got the attention of a wider public.
