The Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal RB3716 sunglasses bring a fresh, modern take to one of eyewear's most recognizable designs. Where the original Clubmaster combined acetate and metal in 1986, this all-metal version delivers a lighter, sleeker profile while keeping the intellectual browline aesthetic that made the style famous.
A Modern Evolution of an Icon
The Clubmaster story begins in the 1980s, when Ray-Ban launched their browline sunglasses—quickly becoming the third best-selling style in the decade alongside Wayfarers and Aviators. The RB3716 updates that heritage with full stainless steel construction. You get the same square lenses and distinctive brow accent, but in a frame that's noticeably lighter on your face. The metal build also means adjustable nose pads, a feature the classic acetate version lacks, letting you dial in the perfect fit for your bridge.
Available in 12 color combinations, the RB3716 includes options with polarized lenses and Ray-Ban's classic G-15 green lenses. The 51mm lens width fits most face shapes—it's the same size as the standard Clubmaster 3016, so if you've worn that model before, the dimensions will feel familiar. Temple length is 145mm with a 21mm bridge.
Built for All-Day Wear
The adjustable nose pads are a real advantage here. Metal frames let you fine-tune where the sunglasses sit, which matters if you've ever had frames slide down when you're active or looking down. The full-rim construction keeps the lenses secure, and the lightweight metal means less pressure on your nose and ears during long wear. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses if needed.
The RB3716 keeps the signature rivet details on the frame front and temples—small touches that connect it to the broader Clubmaster family. Whether you're drawn to the style's association with intellectuals and creatives or just want a versatile pair that works from the office to the weekend, the Clubmaster Metal delivers a refined, unisex look. Ray-Ban includes a protective case and cleaning cloth with every pair.

I am in love with my RayBans!
I've had several pairs of these (lost some) but getting them from designer optics I saved seventy dollars this round.
These are my new favorite frames. They arrived exactly as I expected, with an authentic case and brochures. I haven't had a bad experience with Designer Optics yet, they have come thru every time with great prices!
I got my prescription put in these frames and I get a lot of compliments on them.
Love the shades worth every dollar!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Clubmaster Metal RB3716 and the classic Clubmaster RB3016?
The RB3716 Clubmaster Metal features an all-metal stainless steel frame, while the classic RB3016 combines acetate browline and temples with metal eyewires. The metal version is lighter, includes adjustable nose pads for a customized fit, and offers a more modern, streamlined look. Both share the same 51mm lens width and iconic browline silhouette, but the 3716's full-metal construction provides better adjustability and a different aesthetic.
Are Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal 3716 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban RB3716 Clubmaster Metal sunglasses are fully prescription-ready. You can add single vision, progressive, or bifocal prescription lenses to these frames. The 51mm lens width and full-rim metal construction provide ample space for prescription lenses, and the adjustable nose pads help ensure proper optical alignment.
Do the Clubmaster Metal sunglasses have adjustable nose pads?
Yes, the RB3716 Clubmaster Metal features adjustable silicone nose pads, which is a key advantage over the classic acetate Clubmaster. These nose pads can be adjusted by an optician to customize the fit to your nose bridge, preventing slippage and ensuring all-day comfort. This makes them ideal if you have a lower or higher nose bridge.
What size are the Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal 3716 sunglasses?
The RB3716 has a 51mm lens width, 21mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length. This is considered a medium to large fit and matches the dimensions of the standard Clubmaster RB3016 51mm size. The square lens shape measures approximately 44mm in height, making them suitable for most adult face shapes.
Are Clubmaster Metal sunglasses lighter than the classic Clubmaster?
Yes, the all-metal construction of the RB3716 makes them lighter than the classic acetate/metal hybrid Clubmaster RB3016. The lightweight stainless steel frame reduces pressure on your nose and ears, making them more comfortable for extended wear, especially in warm weather when heavier frames tend to slide.
Do Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal sunglasses provide UV protection?
Yes, all Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal RB3716 sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection, regardless of lens color or tint. This includes both the standard and polarized lens options. The lenses meet UV400 standards, blocking harmful rays up to 400 nanometers to protect your eyes from sun damage.

Read the full comparison
Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal 3716 vs. Classic Clubmaster 3016
Choosing between the Clubmaster Metal RB3716 and the classic Clubmaster RB3016 comes down to whether you want the original iconic look or a lighter, more adjustable modern version. Both share the same 51mm lens width and distinctive browline silhouette, but the construction makes all the difference.
The RB3016 Classic Clubmaster is the original—the style that became the third best-selling Ray-Ban in the 1980s. It features a bold acetate browline and temples paired with metal eyewires holding the lenses. This gives you that substantial, vintage feel with rich color options in the acetate. However, the acetate construction makes it heavier (around 37 grams), and it lacks adjustable nose pads, so the fit is what you get out of the box. Some wearers find the front-heavy design causes the frames to slide down, especially during activity or in warm weather.
The RB3716 Clubmaster Metal reimagines the design in lightweight stainless steel. It's noticeably lighter on your face and includes adjustable nose pads—a major advantage if you need a customized fit or have a lower nose bridge. The all-metal construction gives it a sleeker, more contemporary look while maintaining the intellectual browline aesthetic. The trade-off is a slightly higher starting price and a less bold, more refined appearance compared to the chunky acetate of the original.
Our recommendation: If you love the classic, vintage Clubmaster vibe and want the most color options, go with the RB3016. But if you prioritize comfort, adjustability, and a lighter frame for all-day wear, the RB3716 Clubmaster Metal is the better choice—especially if you're active or wear your sunglasses for extended periods.
Clubmaster Metal 3716 vs. Clubmaster Aluminum 3507
Both the RB3716 and RB3507 are all-metal Clubmaster variants with adjustable nose pads, but the Aluminum 3507 is positioned as the premium option. The 3507 uses lightweight aluminum with a distinctive brushed finish, making it even lighter than the 3716's stainless steel. It also tends to come with more upscale lens options like gradients and mirrors.
The catch? The Aluminum 3507 starts at $202.99 compared to the 3716's $144.20, and aluminum can show scratches more easily than stainless steel. Unless you specifically want that brushed aluminum aesthetic or need the absolute lightest frame possible, the RB3716 Clubmaster Metal offers better value with similar comfort and adjustability.
