Carrera 1134 vs. Carrera 1135: Acetate or Metal?
If you're deciding between the Carrera 1134 and the Carrera 1135, you're choosing between two takes on Carrera's iconic navigator design. Both feature the brand's signature double bridge and heritage-inspired silhouettes, but the materials and sizing set them apart.
The 1134 uses a full-rim acetate front with a metal top bar—bold, contemporary, and available in three colorways (black, matte black, grey). The acetate construction gives you more color options and a slightly warmer, sportier look. It measures 57-16-145, making it a medium-large fit. The acetate-metal hybrid temples with sculptural Carrera branding add a modern edge that stands out.
The 1135, by contrast, is all metal with a 60-14-145 size—slightly larger and lighter. It features adjustable silicone nose pads (the 1134 has a fixed acetate bridge), which means you can fine-tune the fit. The metal construction gives it a more classic aviator vibe, and the larger 60mm lens width works better for bigger faces or anyone who wants maximum coverage. It's also progressive-eligible with spring hinges, just like the 1134.
Which should you choose? If you want a bold, statement-making frame with modern acetate styling and a slightly smaller fit, go with the Carrera 1134. If you prefer the lightweight feel of metal, adjustable nose pads, and a larger lens size, the Carrera 1135 is your frame. Both deliver Carrera's racing-inspired design and prescription-ready performance—it's really about material preference and fit.
Carrera 1134 vs. Carrera 1137: Exploring the Navigator Collection
The Carrera 1137 is another option in Carrera's navigator lineup, priced similarly to the 1135 at $103.38. While specific material and size details vary, the 1137 shares the same design DNA: double bridge construction, sporty-chic details, and prescription-ready versatility.
The 1134 stands out for its oversized square-aviator shape and acetate-metal hybrid construction, making it the most contemporary and bold of the three. If you're after maximum presence and a frame that makes a statement, the 1134 is hard to beat. The 1137 may appeal if you're looking for subtle variations in shape or finish within the same collection, but the 1134 offers the best balance of modern style, comfort, and value at under $95.
