The Ray-Ban Clubround RB4246 sunglasses blend two of the brand's most successful design languages into one distinctive frame. The upper rim features the structured acetate browline borrowed from the classic Clubmaster, while the lower half uses metal rims to support round lenses—a combination Ray-Ban calls the phantos shape. It's a look that splits the difference between vintage intellectual and modern bohemian, and it works on a surprising range of faces.
A Hybrid Design With Real Heritage
Looking at the frame, you'll notice the textured acetate upper rim (available in patterns from wood-grain effects to tortoise and solid colors) paired with rose gold or gunmetal lower rims and bridge. The metal accents aren't just decorative—they include barreled hinges and the signature Ray-Ban logo etched into the beveled lens holder. The 51mm round lenses sit in a full-rim construction with a 19mm bridge and 145mm temples, fitting medium to large faces comfortably. Adjustable nose pads let you dial in the fit, and the flex hinges add durability for daily wear.
This frame is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and turn these into everyday glasses. Many variants ship with Ray-Ban's G-15 or B-15 lenses—solid colors developed for U.S. military pilots in 1937. The G-15 green lens absorbs 85% of visible light and blocks most blue light, delivering high contrast and natural color perception without the warmth of brown tints. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Who It's For
The Clubround's round lower half softens angular features, making it a strong choice for square or heart-shaped faces. The structured browline adds definition to rounder faces. At 51mm, the lens width suits most adults; the unisex styling works across the board. If you've been drawn to the Clubmaster but want something a bit less expected, or you like round frames but want more structure than the RB3447 Round Metal, the RB4246 sits right in that gap.

Designer Optics had a very hard to find Ray Ban frame and the price was good. However, the service was very slow. Longest wait for a simple, single vision prescription I have had in years, whether the order was online or in a store. Status communications were not particularly informative or regular. Nose pads were bent out of position during the prescription work with no attempt to correct before delivery. In summary, not a terrible experience, but not positive either.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban Clubround 4246 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Clubround RB4246 is fully prescription-ready. The frame accepts single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The 51mm lens size and relatively flat 6-base curve make it compatible with a wide range of prescriptions, and the adjustable nose pads help ensure a proper fit once your Rx lenses are installed.
What face shapes work best with the Clubround RB4246?
The Clubround's round lenses and structured browline make it particularly flattering on square and heart-shaped faces, where the curves soften angular features. The defined upper rim also adds structure to round or oval faces. The 51mm lens width and adjustable nose pads accommodate medium to large face sizes.
What is the difference between Ray-Ban Clubround and Clubmaster?
The Clubround RB4246 features round lenses, while the classic Clubmaster RB3016 has a squared browline shape. Both share the signature acetate-and-metal construction and iconic browline, but the Clubround offers a softer, more vintage-intellectual look. The Clubround also uses a phantos (rounded) lens shape rather than the Clubmaster's angular design.
What are Ray-Ban G-15 lenses and why are they popular?
G-15 lenses are Ray-Ban's signature green-grey tint, originally developed for U.S. military pilots in 1937. The 'G' stands for green, and '15' refers to 15% visible light transmission. These lenses absorb 85% of visible light, block most blue light, and provide 100% UV protection while maintaining natural color perception and high contrast—ideal for driving and general outdoor use.
Do the Ray-Ban Clubround 4246 sunglasses come with polarized lenses?
The RB4246 is available in both polarized and non-polarized versions. Polarized variants (marked with '/58' in the model code, such as 990/58) reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and pavement, making them excellent for driving and water activities. Standard versions offer UV protection without polarization.
What size is the Ray-Ban Clubround RB4246?
The RB4246 measures 51mm lens width, 19mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length, with a lens height of approximately 46mm. This is considered a medium to large fit. The frame width from hinge to hinge is approximately 135mm, making it suitable for most adult face sizes with the help of adjustable nose pads.

Ray-Ban Clubround 4246 vs. Clubmaster 3016 vs. Round Metal 3447
The Clubround RB4246 sits at the intersection of two Ray-Ban icons: the structured Clubmaster and the vintage Round Metal. If you're deciding between these three, here's what sets them apart.
Clubround RB4246: This hybrid design gives you the best of both worlds—round lenses for a softer, retro-intellectual look, plus the Clubmaster's signature acetate browline for structure and character. The mix of acetate and metal creates visual interest, and the textured acetate options (wood-grain, tortoise, solid colors) let you personalize the look. It's the most versatile of the three across different face shapes, working well on square, heart, oval, and even round faces thanks to the balanced proportions.
Clubmaster RB3016: The original. If you want the classic squared browline that's been a cultural icon since the 1980s, this is it. The angular shape adds strong definition, making it ideal for round or oval faces that benefit from sharper lines. It's available in more colorways and lens options than the Clubround, and it starts slightly lower in price. The trade-off? It's less forgiving on already-angular faces, and the squared shape reads as more formal or retro-corporate than the Clubround's bohemian vibe.
Round Metal RB3447: The minimalist option. All-metal construction keeps weight down, and the clean round shape is instantly recognizable (think John Lennon). It's great if you want round lenses without the browline structure, but it lacks the definition that helps balance rounder faces. The RB3447 works best on angular or oval faces and for those who prefer understated, wire-frame styling over the Clubround's mixed-material look.
Our take: Choose the Clubround RB4246 if you want a frame that's distinctive without being polarizing—it bridges vintage and modern, structured and soft. Go with the Clubmaster RB3016 if you're after the original squared icon and have a rounder face. Pick the Round Metal RB3447 if you prioritize lightweight comfort and minimalist style over structure.
