 Based on the model number RB 2140, color code 901, and size 50mm, here is a detailed product description for this Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer pair.

Product Overview: Ray-Ban RB 2140 (Original Wayfarer Classic)

The Ray-Ban RB 2140 901 is the definitive "Original Wayfarer."¹ Unlike the "New Wayfarer" (RB 2132), this model retains the aggressive forward tilt (pantoscopic tilt) and thick acetate rims of the 1952 original. The 901 color code refers to the timeless Polished Black Frame paired with Green Classic G-15 Lenses.² The 50mm size is the standard "Medium" fit, which is the most popular size for this model.

Key Features

• Frame Design: Classic Wayfarer.

  • Geometry: Distinctive trapezoidal shape with thick arms and a sturdy front.

  • The "Tilt": This model features the iconic "pantoscopic tilt," meaning the frame angles slightly inward towards the cheeks.³ This is a signature trait of the Original Wayfarer that gives it its rebellious, retro look.

• Lens Technology: Classic G-15.⁴

  • Color: Green. Originally developed for military use, the G-15 lens absorbs 85% of visible light and blocks most blue light.

  • Benefit: It provides "natural vision," ensuring colors are perceived as they truly are, while reducing eye strain and providing excellent contrast.⁵

• Material:

  • Frame: High-quality, durable Acetate (plastic).⁶ It has a substantial, premium weight compared to lighter nylon frames.

  • Lens: Crystal (Glass).⁷ Provides the highest level of optical clarity and is highly scratch-resistant.
