DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Carrera 1062 sunglasses bring together the brand's racing heritage and modern navigator styling in a frame that stands out from standard aviators. The squared-off pilot shape features a distinctive double bridge—a signature Carrera design element—with the iconic 'C' logo plaque positioned front and center where the bridges meet. It's a detail that immediately identifies these as Carrera, and one that's been turning heads since the brand's founding in 1956.

Built for Performance and Style

The frame is constructed from stainless steel, offering durability without the weight. At 62mm, the lenses provide generous coverage and a wider field of vision—something actual owners consistently mention in reviews. The metal temples are finished with embossed Carrera logos and completed by long acetate end tips that add comfort and a two-tone aesthetic. You'll find this frame available in several finishes, including full gold, matte black with gold accents, and black-gold combinations, with lens options that include gradient, polarized, and anti-reflective coatings.

These frames are prescription-ready, so you can fit them with your Rx lenses and wear them as your everyday sunglasses. The 14mm bridge and 145mm temples deliver a secure fit for most face shapes, and the full-rim construction keeps lenses locked in place.

Carrera's Racing DNA

Carrera was founded by Austrian sports eyewear designer Wilhelm Anger, who named the company after the Carrera Panamericana—one of the most dangerous open-road races in Mexico. That motorsport spirit still runs through the brand's DNA. In 1964, Anger patented Optyl, a lightweight, hypoallergenic resin that revolutionized eyewear manufacturing. While modern Carrera frames use advanced stainless steel and acetate, that same commitment to innovation and performance remains.

The 1062 fits squarely in Carrera's tradition of bold, functional design. The navigator shape has military roots but has been updated here with angular lines and a structured double bridge that gives it more presence than a classic teardrop aviator. If you want sunglasses that work as hard as they look, this is a solid choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Carrera 1062 sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Carrera 1062 frames are designed to accept prescription lenses. The full-rim metal construction provides a secure lens mounting, and the frame can be fitted with single vision, progressive, or prescription sun lenses by a licensed optician. This makes them a practical choice if you need vision correction but want the style and UV protection of sunglasses.

What is the lens width and frame size of the Carrera 1062?

The Carrera 1062 has a 62mm lens width, 14mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (62-14-145). The 62mm lens size is considered large, providing excellent coverage and a wider field of vision. This size works well for medium to larger faces and offers more sun protection than smaller aviator styles.

What material are the Carrera 1062 frames made from?

The Carrera 1062 features a stainless steel metal frame with acetate temple tips. Stainless steel is lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic—making it a great option for people with metal sensitivities. The acetate end tips add comfort and prevent slipping. This combination of materials balances strength with all-day wearability.

Do the Carrera 1062 sunglasses come with polarized lenses?

The Carrera 1062 is available in multiple lens options, including polarized versions. Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement, making them ideal for driving and outdoor activities. Check the specific color code when ordering—some variants include polarized or ultra-polar lenses, while others feature gradient or anti-reflective coatings.

What is the iconic 'C' logo on the Carrera 1062?

The Carrera 1062 features the brand's signature 'C' logo plaque positioned at the center of the double bridge. This iconic detail has been a Carrera trademark since the brand revolutionized eyewear design by placing logos on the front of frames. The embossed 'C' is a defining feature that makes these sunglasses instantly recognizable and connects them to Carrera's racing heritage.

How do customers rate the Carrera 1062 sunglasses?

Customer reviews for the Carrera 1062 are positive, with ratings between 4.0 and 4.8 out of 5 stars across multiple retailers. Buyers specifically praise the build quality, comfortable fit, and the wider field of vision provided by the 62mm lenses. Many note that the frames feel substantial without being heavy, and several customers have successfully fitted them with prescription lenses.

Carrera 1062 vs. Similar Navigator Sunglasses

If you're considering the Carrera 1062, you're likely weighing it against other navigator and aviator styles in the Carrera lineup. Here's how it compares to three similar models in our catalog.

Carrera 1062 vs. Carrera 1071

The Carrera 1071 is the closest sibling to the 1062. Both feature the double-bridge navigator design with the iconic 'C' logo and metal construction with acetate temple tips. The key difference is size: the 1071 has a 61mm lens width compared to the 1062's 62mm. That single millimeter translates to slightly less coverage and a narrower field of vision. The 1071 also includes flexible hinges, which add durability and comfort. If you have a smaller face or prefer a more compact navigator, the 1071 is worth considering—and it's priced slightly lower at $97.79–$119.54. But if you want maximum coverage and the bold presence of larger lenses, the 1062 delivers.

Carrera 1062 vs. Carrera 1069

The Carrera 1069 takes a different design direction. Instead of the classic navigator shape, the 1069 features a geometric, hexagonal front with lateral spoiler details. It's a more contemporary, fashion-forward look compared to the 1062's timeless pilot styling. The 1069 has a 58mm lens width—noticeably smaller than the 1062—so it suits smaller to medium faces better. Both are prescription-ready and available with polarized lenses, and they're priced similarly ($102.31–$126.62 for the 1069). Choose the 1069 if you want a modern, angular aesthetic; stick with the 1062 if you prefer the heritage navigator shape.

Carrera 1062 vs. Carrera 1001

The Carrera 1001 is a budget-friendly navigator option priced at $55.18–$87.77—nearly half the cost of the 1062. It offers Carrera's signature navigator styling but without the premium details. The 1001 lacks the distinctive 'C' logo plaque that makes the 1062 a collector's item, and it uses simpler construction. If you're looking for an entry-level Carrera navigator and price is your main concern, the 1001 is a solid choice. But if you want the full Carrera experience—the iconic branding, the two-tone metal-and-acetate construction, and the design details that set these apart—the 1062 is worth the investment.

Why Choose the Carrera 1062?

The Carrera 1062 hits the sweet spot between classic navigator styling and distinctive Carrera branding. The 62mm lenses provide excellent coverage, the double bridge with 'C' logo plaque is instantly recognizable, and the stainless steel construction balances durability with comfort. It's a frame that works equally well for daily wear or special occasions, and it's prescription-ready if you need vision correction. For customers who want a navigator that stands out from generic aviators, the 1062 delivers.
