A Testimony

A good friend who has used a Ray-Ban for years under extreme conditions has this to say:

“I worked in the Oil fields all over the world for 47 years and only used my Ray-Bans as protection, believe me, I needed the best you can get. Everybody in my team of more than 100, used Ray Bans, and all people I know in the industry, use Ray-Bans.

As a manager, out at sea on an Oil rig in the middle of the ocean, there is no room for errors. Every minute of every situation is a matter of life and death if you do not concentrate and focus. The dinosaurs did not die in the best of places on earth, and the rigs drilling for oil are miles and miles from civilization.

Every day in full sunshine, the glare was extreme at 50 *C in Saudi. There is no second chance, all must always run perfectly, and Ray-Bans live up to that standard, making the workplace safer. It has big glasses for better vision all around, especially looking down.

Once we had to move a Rig with all the equipment across the desert in Libya and tracked for 12 days over dunes with big trucks, no roads just a guide and a compass. Ray-Bans was an item we definitely could not go without in that blazing sun … and besides pilots don’t lie.

I have a second pair still flawless after 20 odd years of use.

I believe and trust in my Ray-Bans”

Capt. Stephen Hayes from Britain.

The Origin

Why do pilots wear Aviator Ray-Bans?

Is it because Ray-Ban sunglasses are the brand with good eye protection.

In 1930 with the development of aircraft, in particular, the military air crafts, the designs allow pilots to fly faster, higher and longer distances.

The pilots experience high levels of glare which lead to vision problems, headaches and altitude sickness. It reduced their ability to function at high levels and affected their accuracy.

A military sergeant-major MaCready requested the help of the American company Bausch and Lomb to find a way of dealing with the problem and the Anti-Glare glasses were developed. In 1938 Ray-Ban Aviators were patented and the military has used them ever since.

Later the company designed the first Ray-Ban sunglasses for public use, and the rest is history.

The Present

Many modern designs are available today but Ray-Bans were made popular by J F Kennedy and the big breakthrough came with the movie Top Gun when Tom Cruise as a pilot wore Ray-Bans. It became immensely popular and till today almost every celebrity is seen with a pair.

In 1999 the brand was sold to an Italian company Luxottica and is now situated in Milan.

Leonardo Del Vecchio the new owner, blew new life into the design with a variety of new frames and colours.

He owns about 80% of the eyeglass market worldwide, with Oakley in the stables too.

Many of the fashion houses such as Gucci and Channel have contracts with him.

This voice-activated device lets you access the internet, store information, make calls, and take photos all the functions the modern, seamlessly connected user wants, but in an unobtrusive form.

Ray-Ban started with the aim of being at the very forefront of eye-ware development, designing and manufacturing sunglasses that gave an outstanding performance as well as being fashionable.
