As the originator of the "aviator" style, American Optical's archives are filled with variations on this classic.

The Checkmate refreshes the "aviator" style with a refined design attuned to current trends, featuring a slimmer nose bridge and tapered temples. This lighter rectangular "aviator" shape rounds out the collection, sitting between the Original Pilot and the General.

If you are looking for an "aviator" look with standard temples rather than "bayonet", the Checkmate is made for you! 

These sunglasses are the ones produced in the USA by American Optical, not the Chinese copies widely found on the internet.
