Glasses were as described and shopped quickly. I love them
Never received

Read the full comparison
Ray-Ban Bill 2198 vs. Similar Square Acetate Sunglasses
Choosing the right square Ray-Ban sunglasses comes down to your style preference and facial features. The Ray-Ban Bill 2198 stands out with its distinctive double bridge design and aviator-inspired heritage, created specifically for Ray-Ban's 90th anniversary. This architectural detail gives it a more contemporary, fashion-forward edge compared to classic square frames.
Bill 2198 vs. Square 1971
The Ray-Ban Square 1971 offers a more traditional vintage aesthetic with its single bridge design and retro appeal. While both feature square acetate frames, the Bill 2198's double bridge creates stronger visual interest and a more modern look. The Square 1971 starts at a slightly lower price point and works well for those seeking classic, understated style. However, if you want a frame that honors heritage while pushing design boundaries, the Bill 2198's anniversary edition status and architectural double bridge make it the standout choice.
Bill 2198 vs. RB4376
The Ray-Ban 4376 presents a softer alternative with rounded square edges and a more minimalist design. It's an excellent everyday option at a lower price point, but lacks the distinctive double bridge that defines the Bill 2198. The 4376 suits those who prefer subtle styling, while the Bill 2198 appeals to customers who want their eyewear to make a statement. The Bill's sharper lines and defined architecture create a bolder, more fashion-conscious look.
Bill 2198 vs. State Side 4356
The Ray-Ban State Side 4356 shares the Bill 2198's modern square aesthetic and similar price range, but differentiates itself with unique temple detailing rather than bridge design. Both are prescription-ready and built with quality acetate. The State Side works for customers who want contemporary styling with temple-focused design elements, while the Bill 2198 is the better choice for those drawn to aviator heritage and the distinctive double bridge feature.
Why Choose the Bill 2198? If you're looking for a square acetate frame that combines Ray-Ban's legendary aviator DNA with contemporary design, the Bill 2198 is your best bet. Its double bridge creates a unique architectural element that sets it apart from standard square frames, while the 90th anniversary heritage adds collectible appeal. Available in both 56mm and 60mm sizes with polarized options, it offers versatility without compromising on style or Ray-Ban's signature quality.
