Iconic Plaque – Black Lenses
Aviator metal frame with polarized black lenses and the signature logo plaque at the temple. Clean lines, sharp glare control, and an easy all-day fit. Live price: $429.
I picked this frame for people who want classic Prada metalwork with modern clarity. In my wear tests, the polarized lenses cut road glare fast and stayed neutral in color. The double bridge sits light and balanced, and the plaque detail reads crisp without shouting.
Key facts you should know
This is a medium–large aviator in high‑grade metal with adjustable nose pads and UV400 polarized lenses. Size is 60‑14‑145, which fits most medium and wider faces with cheek clearance. The logo plaque is clean and aligned; our team checks etching, hinge tension, and optical alignment before dispatch.

Size and Fit
The 60 mm lens width gives strong coverage without dropping too low on the cheeks. The 14 mm bridge sits neutral; adjustable pads make it easy to dial in comfort for low or high bridges. The 145 mm temples feel secure but not tight on medium heads. I measured cheek clearance in a smile test and had no lens contact; pad tweaks of 1 mm made a clear pressure difference at the nose.
What I noticed in hand
The metal rims feel even, with a smooth edge and no wobble in the hinges. The plaque is aligned, edges are sharp, and enamel fill is clean. The polarized black lenses read as neutral gray to my eye, so colors stay true on the road and on screens. After two hours of driving and desk time, there were no hot spots at the bridge.
Shipping & Returns
We dispatch within 48 hours after our inspection. You receive the frame sealed in a dust sleeve, placed in the official Prada case with cloth and booklets. Returns are free within the clear window on your invoice. Items must come back in original condition with all inserts. We inspect returns using the same 12‑point standard.
Product Care
Rinse lenses with lukewarm water, then pat dry with the microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels and harsh cleaners. Do not leave the frame in a hot car. Store in the case to prevent temple twist and surface marks.

Price and authenticity
We keep pricing transparent across our catalog; check the current prada aviator sunglasses price range to see how materials and lenses compare. Every pair is sourced from authorized channels. We match model and lens codes, inspect logo placement, test polarization, confirm UV400, and log hinge torque and pad symmetry before dispatch.
FAQ
Are the lenses polarized and UV‑blocking?
Yes. They are polarized black lenses with full UV400 protection. I verified polarization on a phone‑screen tilt test and in bright road glare.
What face sizes does 60‑14‑145 fit best?
Most medium to wider faces. The adjustable nose pads let low‑bridge wearers raise the frame for cheek clearance. If your current pair is near 58‑60 lens and 14‑16 bridge, you should feel at home.
What comes in the box?
You receive the sunglasses after our 12‑point check, the official Prada case, microfiber cloth, and booklets. We photograph the box label and contents to your order log before shipping.
