Carrera 1137 vs Carrera 1135: Choosing Your Navigator Size
If you're drawn to Carrera's double-bridge navigator eyeglasses, you'll likely encounter both the 1137 and the 1135. They share the same design DNA—signature double bridge, spring hinges, adjustable nose pads, and that squared-off aviator shape—but differ in one critical dimension: size.
The Carrera 1137 measures 55-19-145mm, making it a large frame that suits medium to larger faces. The Carrera 1135 steps up to 60-14-145mm, with a notably wider 60mm lens that delivers more coverage and a bolder, more oversized aesthetic. Both frames are priced identically at $103.38 and accept the same prescription lens types (single-vision, progressive, bifocal).
The choice comes down to fit and proportion. The 1137's 55mm lens is more universally flattering—it works on medium faces without looking small and on larger faces without overwhelming. The 19mm bridge also distributes weight comfortably across a wider range of nose shapes. The 1135's 60mm lens makes a bigger statement and provides maximum coverage, but it can overpower smaller features. If you have a larger face or prefer that vintage oversized aviator look, the 1135 delivers. If you want bold styling that's still versatile, the 1137 is the safer bet.
Both frames feature the same quality construction—metal with injected coating borders, Carrera logo etching on the top bridge, and long acetate temple tips. You're choosing size and presence, not quality. Try measuring your current favorite frames: if they're 54-56mm, the 1137 will feel familiar; if they're 58-60mm or you've always wished for more coverage, the 1135 is your frame.
