Carrera 1120 vs. Other Carrera Eyeglasses
If you're drawn to the Carrera 1120's double-bridge navigator style but want to explore your options, here's how it stacks up against similar frames in our Carrera collection.
Carrera 1120 vs. Carrera 2010T
The Carrera 2010T offers a more streamlined, budget-friendly alternative at $45. Both frames share a rectangular shape and full-rim acetate construction, but the 2010T uses a traditional single-bridge design. If you prefer a cleaner, less structured look and want to save some money, the 2010T is a solid choice. However, the 1120's double bridge adds both visual interest and extra durability—two connection points instead of one mean better weight distribution and reinforcement against daily wear. The 1120 also brings more retro-inspired character, making it the better pick if you want a frame with personality and heritage styling.
Carrera 1120 vs. Carrera 175
The Carrera 175 ($49-$83.66) is another acetate rectangle frame that shares the 1120's prescription-ready construction and Carrera quality. The 175 offers a more understated, contemporary look without the double-bridge detail. It's a good match for customers who want a versatile everyday frame that doesn't lean as heavily into the navigator aesthetic. The 1120, by contrast, makes a bolder statement with its double-bridge design and aviator-inspired proportions. If you're after a frame that stands out and nods to Carrera's motorsport heritage, the 1120 is the stronger choice.
Why Choose the Carrera 1120?
The Carrera 1120 occupies a sweet spot: it's more distinctive than basic rectangular frames, but not as bold as full aviator sunglasses. The double-bridge design adds structural integrity and visual character, while the acetate construction keeps the frame lightweight and comfortable. At $94.77, it's competitively priced for a frame that delivers both style and durability. If you want a prescription frame that blends retro-inspired design with everyday wearability, the 1120 is hard to beat.
