The Ray-Ban Aviator Metal II RB3689 sunglasses bring a refined update to the iconic pilot shape that's been defining cool since 1937. This isn't just another aviator—it's a sophisticated reboot that keeps the classic teardrop lens but adds a sleek double bridge and flat metal temples finished with Havana acetate tips for a modern edge.
A Fresh Take on an Icon
The RB3689 distinguishes itself from the original RB3025 Aviator Large Metal with thoughtful design updates. The double bridge construction adds visual interest and structural balance, while the flat temples create a streamlined profile that sits comfortably behind the ears. The stainless steel frame is lightweight yet durable, and the adjustable nose pads ensure a secure, customized fit for all-day wear.
Available in both 55mm and 58mm lens widths, these unisex frames suit a range of face sizes. The pilot shape works particularly well on oval and square faces—the teardrop silhouette softens angular jawlines while complementing balanced proportions.
Lens Options & UV Protection
Ray-Ban offers the 3689 in an impressive variety of lens options. Choose from classic crystal green G-15 lenses, gradient browns and blues, or upgrade to polarized lenses that cut glare and enhance contrast. Select variants feature photochromic Evolve lenses that adapt to changing light conditions. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
These frames are prescription-ready, so you can replace the lenses with your personal Rx for perfect vision. The full-rim metal construction accommodates a wide range of prescriptions, making these as functional as they are stylish.
Who They're For
The Aviator Metal II bridges heritage and contemporary style. If you want the aviator look but prefer a more refined aesthetic than the classic 3025, the double bridge and flat temples deliver exactly that. They're versatile enough for daily wear yet distinctive enough to stand out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Ray-Ban 3689 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Aviator Metal II RB3689 frames are prescription-ready. The full-rim metal construction allows you to replace the lenses with your personal prescription lenses. The frames can accommodate a wide range of prescriptions, and the adjustable nose pads ensure a comfortable fit even with prescription lenses installed.
What's the difference between the Ray-Ban 3689 and the classic 3025 Aviator?
The RB3689 Aviator Metal II features a sleek double bridge design and flat metal temples with Havana acetate tips, while the classic RB3025 has a single bridge and curved cable temples. Both share the iconic teardrop lens shape, but the 3689 offers a more contemporary, refined look with updated temple construction and a wider variety of modern lens options including photochromic Evolve lenses.
What face shapes do Ray-Ban Aviator 3689 sunglasses suit best?
The Ray-Ban 3689 aviators work particularly well on oval and square face shapes. The classic teardrop lens shape softens angular features on square faces, while the balanced proportions complement oval faces naturally. The frames are also suitable for heart-shaped faces, as the downward taper of the lenses helps balance wider foreheads.
Do Ray-Ban 3689 sunglasses provide UV protection?
Yes, all Ray-Ban RB3689 lenses are coated with 100% UV protection to block harmful UVA and UVB rays. This helps protect your eyes from sun damage and reduces eye strain when worn outdoors. Polarized versions offer additional glare reduction for enhanced visual comfort in bright conditions.
What sizes are available for the Ray-Ban Aviator Metal II 3689?
The Ray-Ban RB3689 is available in two lens widths: 55mm (small to medium fit) and 58mm (medium to large fit). Both sizes feature a 14mm bridge width. The 55mm works well for smaller to average faces, while the 58mm provides better coverage for larger faces. The adjustable nose pads allow for fine-tuning the fit regardless of size.
What lens options are available for the Ray-Ban 3689?
The RB3689 offers a wide variety of lens options including classic crystal green G-15, gradient lenses in brown and blue tones, polarized lenses for glare reduction, and photochromic Evolve lenses that adapt to changing light conditions. Lens materials include both glass and polycarbonate options, with all providing 100% UV protection.

Ray-Ban Aviator Metal II 3689 vs. Classic Aviator 3025
Choosing between the RB3689 Aviator Metal II and the RB3025 Aviator Large Metal comes down to whether you prefer modern refinement or classic heritage.
The RB3025 is the original—the aviator that started it all in 1937. It features the traditional single bridge and curved cable temples that wrap around the ears. It's available in four sizes (52mm, 55mm, 58mm, and 62mm), offering the widest range of fit options. The 3025 delivers pure, unfiltered aviator heritage at a slightly lower price point.
The RB3689 Aviator Metal II takes that foundation and refines it. The double bridge adds architectural interest and a more contemporary look, while the flat temples with Havana acetate tips create a sleeker, more streamlined profile. The 3689 also offers newer lens technologies including photochromic Evolve options and see-through polarized lenses. It's available in 55mm and 58mm sizes.
Our take: If you want the most authentic, traditional aviator experience, go with the 3025. If you prefer a more refined, modern interpretation with updated details and the latest lens tech, the 3689 is your frame. Both are prescription-ready, both offer excellent UV protection, and both deliver that unmistakable aviator silhouette—just with different levels of contemporary polish.
