Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 Styles: Wayfarer vs Aviator vs Zena

The three Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 styles on Amaboxly, the Wayfarer, the Aviator and the Zena, all start from RM2,019, and their listings describe the same features. That leaves shape, fit and colour to decide. The Wayfarer offers the most choice, the Aviator is the pilot frame, and the Zena is the cat eye.

How the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 styles compare

All three are the official US version, bought new from the Meta Store USA. Each listing describes the same things you can do: use your voice to get fast answers with Meta AI, capture memories, make calls, send messages, listen to music and livestream.

The glasses need the Meta AI app on a compatible phone, a Meta account and internet access. AI and voice features depend on country and language, so check what is supported where you live before you order.

“From” means the lowest-priced variation. Some frame and lens combinations can cost more, and the product page shows the price for each one as you select it.

Wayfarer: the classic shape with the most options

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 3) is the one the product description calls “our most iconic style”. It is also the only Gen 3 frame here with a size choice. All eight colours are listed in both Standard and Large.

That matters if you are buying without trying them on. The listing does not give frame measurements, so if you already own a pair of Ray-Bans, check which size you wear and compare it with the brand’s size information.

The Wayfarer is also the only style of the three with a Matte Black frame. It comes with three lens choices:

• Matte Black / Clear Lenses
• Matte Black / Grey Lenses
• Matte Black / Transitions Graphite Green Lenses

The other five are Havana / Green Lenses, Shiny Black / Polarized Green Lenses, Shiny Black / Transitions Grey Lenses, Transparent Black / Transitions Aquamarine Lenses and Transparent Matte Ocean Blue / Transitions Grey Lenses.

Pick the Wayfarer if you are unsure about fit, if you want a matte finish, or if you simply want the widest list to choose from.

Aviator: the pilot shape in warmer colours

The Ray-Ban Meta Aviator (Gen 3) is described as “the legendary style, now with Meta AI”. Six colours are listed and there is no frame size option, so what you see is one fit.

The palette leans brown. You get Havana with Brown Lenses or Transitions Brown Lenses, Milky Warm Beige with Transitions Brown Lenses, and Transparent Umber with Transitions Jade Lenses. The two darker options are Shiny Black with Polarized Green Lenses or Transitions Graphite Green Lenses.

Four of the six Aviator colours use Transitions lenses, and none has a clear lens. If you want smart glasses that look like regular clear spectacles, look at the Wayfarer or Zena instead. If you want the pilot shape and like tortoise or beige tones, this is your frame.

Zena: the cat eye

The Ray-Ban Meta Zena (Gen 3) is listed as a “bold cat eye style”, which means a frame that lifts at the outer corners. Like the Aviator, it has six colours and no size option.

Four of the six are Shiny Black frames, with Clear, Grey, Polarized Green or Transitions Graphite Green lenses. That makes the Zena an easy pick if you already know you want black and only need to settle the lens.

The two that stand apart are Havana / Gradient Brown Lenses, the only gradient lens across all three styles, and Milky Grey Lilac / Transitions Copper Lenses, the lightest frame colour in the Zena list. Choose the Zena if the cat eye shape is what you normally wear in sunglasses.

Choosing a lens colour

If you have already decided on a lens, the shape choice gets easier, because some lenses appear across the range. Shiny Black / Polarized Green Lenses is listed for all three styles. Transitions Graphite Green is also in all three, on a Matte Black frame for the Wayfarer and a Shiny Black frame for the Aviator and Zena.

Clear lenses are listed for two styles only: Matte Black on the Wayfarer and Shiny Black on the Zena. For wearing indoors as everyday glasses, those are the two to look at.

Transitions lenses make up four of the Wayfarer colours, four of the Aviator colours and two of the Zena colours. Ray-Ban’s lens information explains how Transitions and polarized lenses behave in different conditions, and it is worth reading before you pay for one.

Price and how ordering works

Each of the three styles starts from RM2,019 on the Meta brand page. For reference, the Meta Store USA price seen on 10 November 2026 was USD 449 to USD 529 for the Wayfarer and the Zena, and USD 449 to USD 579 for the Aviator. When you compare, factor in currency conversion, delivery to your country and how returns work.

These are preorders. We buy your pair new from the Meta Store USA after you order, and estimated delivery is 30 calendar days. You can pay in full, or where the product page offers it, pay a 50% deposit now and the balance later. Checkout shows when the balance is due for your country.

Delivery is free within Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan pay RM21 per item, or nothing on orders over RM 2,200, and a single pair at the RM2,019 starting price falls below that threshold. Every other country sees its fee at checkout, and the shipping fees page has the details.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. A change-of-mind return must be in new condition, carries a 10% restocking fee, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. If a pair arrives damaged, report it with photos as soon as it arrives. Exchanges are only for items that arrive damaged, so decide between Standard and Large on the Wayfarer before you check out. Full terms are on the refund and returns page.
