How does the Old Aviator differ from the classic Ray-Ban Aviator?

The lens is rounder and a little smaller, giving a more vintage look. The classic Aviator has a wider, more teardrop shape. Both use a metal double-bridge frame.

Some versions ship with polarized lenses and some with standard sun lenses. Check the lens marking on the model you pick; polarized cuts glare from water and roads.

Will it fit a wide face?

The frame is on the narrower side with adjustable nose pads. Shoppers with wider faces often prefer the standard Aviator for more coverage.

What comes in the box?

Ray-Ban typically includes a case and a cleaning cloth with the sunglasses. Confirm the contents for the specific version you choose.

Is it good for driving?

Yes for daytime driving, and the polarized version is better for cutting dashboard and road glare. Standard lenses still block UV.

Our take on the Ray-Ban 0RB3825 Old Aviator

The Ray-Ban Old Aviator RB3825 is a metal aviator with a slightly rounder, more vintage lens shape than the classic Aviator. It keeps the double bridge, thin temples and adjustable nose pads that made the line famous. It suits people who want a softer, retro aviator rather than the squared-off original. Against cheaper aviators it wins on frame finish and lens quality; against the standard Aviator it is a matter of face shape and taste, since the lens is rounder and less wide.
