Ray-Ban Aviator Large Metal Light Brown / Pink Gradient Brown (RB3025 9001A5)

The Aviator: the frame that invented the sunglasses gesture

The Aviator (RB3025) was born in 1937 for pilots flying straight into the sun: the metal frame had to be light, work under a helmet and cover a wide field of view. That is where the tear-drop shape comes from. This is the classic metal one, in Light Brown with Pink Gradient Brown lenses. Reference RB3025 9001A5.

What you will like most

The shape. The wide brow and the drop-shaped lens cover the eyebrow and the cheekbone: the silhouette that best blocks side light without feeling like you are wearing a shield.

The weight. The front is thin polished metal, so the frame rests without digging in and you can wear it for hours.

The nose pads. They are adjustable: bring them closer or further apart and the frame stays put even when you sweat or ride a motorbike.

And it is prescription ready. It carries Ray-Ban’s RX service: one of the few classic sunglasses that look just as good with your prescription inside.

The Pink Gradient Brown lenses

These are the factory lenses fitted to this model. They are gradient lenses: darker at the top where the sun hits, lighter at the bottom so you can read your phone or the dashboard without taking them off.

All original Ray-Ban lenses filter ultraviolet light and carry the laser-engraved logo in the corner; that is the quick way to tell an original lens from a copy.

The size comes first

The Aviator comes in 55, 58; this listing has 55 / 58, chosen in the drop-down. The size is engraved inside the temple arm (for instance RB3025 9001A5).

This is the part people get wrong buying online: a large Aviator on a narrow face slips down, and a small one on a wide face pinches at the temples. If in doubt, send us a front-on photo and we will tell you yours.

Behind this listing there is a real workshop

Centro Óptico Alpedrete is an optician, not a shop forwarding boxes. Every Aviator that leaves here goes through the workshop: we check the temples close properly, the front is square, the nose pads sit right and the lenses are flawless.

If you want a custom fit, we get it ready at no extra cost.

Genuine, with every guarantee

100% factory original Ray-Ban, with the laser-engraved logo on the temple and the lens, the original case and the microfibre cloth. 2-year European warranty. We are authorised retailers: the box arrives with its reference and serial number.

Can I get it with prescription lenses? Yes — and it is our speciality

The Aviator RB3025 is a prescription-ready frame: the factory ships it with demo lenses for exactly that reason. At Centro Óptico Alpedrete we have been glazing prescription lenses into sunglasses for over twenty years, and this is one of the frames that takes it best: the metal front does not distort and the drop-shaped lens has plenty of room for your prescription.

What do you need? Just your prescription. With it we tell you whether we can fit your lenses straight away or whether it is better to order the frame without lenses and glaze it in our workshop. If your prescription is high, we will tell you clearly before you buy anything.

Lens types we fit: single vision, progressive and occupational, with anti-reflective, blue-light filter, and polarized or photochromic with your prescription.

And how much does it cost? It depends on your prescription and the treatment, not on the frame. We give you a fixed price before we start. And if you only came for the frame, we sell it without prescription too.

Timing. About 7 business days for the frame; glazing in the workshop usually adds 2 or 3 more.

You can do it from a distance too. Send us your prescription on WhatsApp or by email, with the pupillary distance, and we ship it glazed and adjusted.

And if you want replacement prescription lenses for this frame, we make those as well.

If you are unsure about the size, message us with a front-on photo: we will tell you which one will fit better before you order.
