The Ray-Ban Clubmaster Metal RB3716 sunglasses bring a fresh, modern take to one of eyewear’s most recognizable designs. Where the original Clubmaster combined acetate and metal in 1986, this all-metal version delivers a lighter, sleeker profile while keeping the intellectual browline aesthetic that made the style famous.
A Modern Evolution of an Icon
The Clubmaster story begins in the 1980s, when Ray-Ban launched their browline sunglasses—quickly becoming the third best-selling style in the decade alongside Wayfarers and Aviators. The RB3716 updates that heritage with full stainless steel construction. You get the same square lenses and distinctive brow accent, but in a frame that’s noticeably lighter on your face. The metal build also means adjustable nose pads, a feature the classic acetate version lacks, letting you dial in the perfect fit for your bridge.
Available in 12 color combinations, the RB3716 includes options with polarized lenses and Ray-Ban’s classic G-15 green lenses. The 51mm lens width fits most face shapes—it’s the same size as the standard Clubmaster 3016, so if you’ve worn that model before, the dimensions will feel familiar. Temple length is 145mm with a 21mm bridge.
Built for All-Day Wear
The adjustable nose pads are a real advantage here. Metal frames let you fine-tune where the sunglasses sit, which matters if you’ve ever had frames slide down when you’re active or looking down. The full-rim construction keeps the lenses secure, and the lightweight metal means less pressure on your nose and ears during long wear. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses if needed.
The RB3716 keeps the signature rivet details on the frame front and temples—small touches that connect it to the broader Clubmaster family. Whether you’re drawn to the style’s association with intellectuals and creatives or just want a versatile pair that works from the office to the weekend, the Clubmaster Metal delivers a refined, unisex look. Ray-Ban includes a protective case and cleaning cloth with every pair.
