Ray-Ban aviator style sunglasses are one of the most popular amongst the brand's consumers, making the five-day event that will see just 100 pairs of a classic model sell highly anticipated.

The 'Ambermatic Collection' uses the classic Ray-Ban aviator style that was first seen in 1937, featuring a vintage look that's complemented by an old school yellow tint. The yellow tint is created by the Ambermatic lens that darkens and lightens in different lights and temperatures, changing from a light yellow to a brown tint depending on the environment. Included in the small collection is a 'Ray-Ban Classic Aviator' model with 'curved temple tips,' the 'Ray-Ban Outdoorsmen' and the 'Ray-Ban Shooter.' Frames come in either gold, black or silver.
