info

In the late 1980s, sports eyewear brand Carrera collaborated

with airline manufacturer Boeing to create the Carrera Boeing

Collection
of aviator styles for men and women. This model,

the 5706 is a unisex style marked as a "Small" but with 61mm

lenses it is in fact larger than the Ray-Ban Large aviator at 58mm.

This was the 80s, after all. The lenses at 9% light transmission

are very dark, so these would be perfect in the air or the alps or

on the water or in the desert. We found them with original price

tags, so never worn, but the lenses are not perfect, a few minor

marks reduces them to a 7. Boeing Carrera were astronomically

expensive when launched in the 1980's. And they were unapologetic

in marketing their high-flying range on launching in 1986: 'The new

Boeing Collection by Carrera, designed to appeal to "the opinion

leaders, the trendsetters, all those who are remarkable in matters

of taste, income, travel frequency, standard of quality, and

fascination with technology."'
That's quite a lot to live up to, but

these are the sunglasses to do it in.
