Lens Section

Original Ray-Ban G-15 glass lenses offering true neutral gray-green optics with excellent clarity and UV protection.

The etched “RB” logo is present on the right lens, confirming authenticity.

Lenses remain in terrific condition with only faint hairline marks visible upon close inspection—nothing affecting sight.

Era & Relevance:

The RB2140 represents Ray-Ban’s faithful reissue of the original 1950s Bausch & Lomb Wayfarer, one of the most iconic and imitated frame designs in eyewear history.

This example, produced during the early Luxottica era (mid-2000s to early-2010s), preserves the authentic construction details—thick acetate, sturdy riveted hinges, and classic silhouette—of its vintage predecessor.

The Gloss White finish evokes the bold style of the 1980s cultural resurgence, when Wayfarers became synonymous with film, fashion, and music legends.

While not vintage, this pair stands as a modern collectible—a perfect fusion of historical design and contemporary craftsmanship that continues to define Ray-Ban’s timeless appeal.
