The Ray-Ban Bill One RB2205 sunglasses bring a fresh take on aviator-inspired style with an irregular square silhouette that stands out from the crowd. This model updates the popular Bill design with a slimmer profile, distinctive double bridge, and modern bi-layered acetate construction that adds depth and visual interest to the frame.
Design and Construction
The Bill One features a full-rim acetate frame in an irregular shape that blends square and aviator elements. The signature double bridge creates a bold architectural statement across the top, while the polished finish gives each frame a refined look. Available in both solid colors (like classic black with green lenses and tortoise with brown lenses) and eye-catching bi-color combinations—including transparent tones paired with solid hues—these sunglasses offer options from understated to statement-making.
The frame comes in two sizes: 57mm and 60mm lens width, both with a 16mm bridge and 145mm temples. The high-bridge fit design positions the frame higher on the face, making it ideal for those with prominent nose bridges or larger facial features. Molded nose pads provide a secure, comfortable grip, while the slim temples keep the overall look sleek and modern.
Lenses and Protection
Ray-Ban equips the Bill One with lenses that deliver 100% UVA and UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays. Depending on the variant, you'll find solid lenses, gradient options, or polarized lenses that cut glare from reflective surfaces like water and pavement. All lenses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and turn these sunglasses into your everyday eyewear.
Who They're For
The Bill One works well for round, oval, heart, and square face shapes, and the generous lens coverage suits those who want a bit more presence from their sunglasses. The high-bridge fit means the frames sit comfortably without resting on your cheeks—even when you smile. If you've found that standard frames slip down or feel too tight, the Bill One's elevated bridge position may be exactly what you need.
The classic black-and-green combination remains a bestseller, while transparent blue and grey bi-color frames appeal to those after a more modern aesthetic. Polarized versions are available across most color options for added glare reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban Bill One 2205 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Bill One RB2205 sunglasses are fully prescription-ready. The acetate frames can accommodate prescription lenses, allowing you to add your vision correction while maintaining the style and UV protection these sunglasses offer. Both the 57mm and 60mm sizes support prescription lens installation.
What does high-bridge fit mean on the Bill One sunglasses?
High-bridge fit means the Ray-Ban Bill One is designed for people with a prominent nose bridge that sits higher on the face, typically above the pupil line. This fit positions the frame higher so it doesn't rest on your cheeks and provides better stability for those who find standard frames slip down. The Bill One includes molded nose pads that distribute weight evenly for all-day comfort.
What's the difference between Ray-Ban Bill 2198 and Bill One 2205?
The Bill One RB2205 is an evolution of the original Bill RB2198 with a slimmer, more refined structure. The Bill One features a redesigned iconic bridge and enhanced bi-layered acetate styling, giving it a more contemporary look. Both models share the square-aviator hybrid shape and high-bridge fit, but the Bill One offers a sleeker profile with updated color combinations including more transparent and bi-color options.
What face shapes work best with the Bill One RB2205?
The Ray-Ban Bill One RB2205 works well with round, oval, heart, and square face shapes. The irregular square-aviator silhouette provides generous face coverage and balanced proportions. The wide fit and high-bridge design make these sunglasses particularly suitable for larger faces or those with prominent facial features who need extra coverage and a higher nose bridge position.
Do the Bill One sunglasses come with polarized lenses?
Yes, several Ray-Ban Bill One RB2205 variants are available with polarized lenses that reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement. Polarized options include brown gradient polarized and other color combinations. Some variants also feature Chromance technology, which combines polarization with enhanced color and contrast for superior visual clarity.
What sizes are available for the Ray-Ban Bill One 2205?
The Ray-Ban Bill One RB2205 is available in two sizes: 57-16-145 and 60-16-145. The first number is the lens width in millimeters, the second is the bridge width (16mm for both), and the third is the temple length (145mm for both). The 60mm size offers more coverage and fits well on most faces, while the 57mm provides a slightly smaller fit.

Ray-Ban Bill One 2205 vs Bill 2198: Which Should You Choose?
Both the Bill One RB2205 and the original Bill RB2198 share the same DNA—an irregular square-aviator hybrid shape with high-bridge fit and full acetate construction. But the Bill One represents a refined evolution of the design.
The Bill One RB2205 features a slimmer, more contemporary structure with a redesigned double bridge that creates a sleeker architectural statement. The bi-layered acetate styling is more pronounced, and you'll find more modern color combinations, especially in the transparent and bi-color options like dark grey on transparent grey or blue on transparent blue. If you prefer a refined, current look with slightly more coverage (especially in the 60mm size), the Bill One delivers.
The Bill RB2198 stays closer to the bold, retro-inspired '80s aviator aesthetic that launched the Bill family. It has a slightly chunkier presence and comes in at a lower price point, making it a great choice if you want authentic vintage vibes without the premium. The Bill 2198 still offers the same high-bridge fit and prescription-ready construction, so you're not sacrificing function for style.
Our take: If you want the latest iteration with a sleeker profile and modern colorways, go with the Bill One RB2205. If you prefer the original bold statement and want to save a bit, the Bill RB2198 is an excellent choice. Both deliver Ray-Ban's signature quality and 100% UV protection.
