Warm. Considered. Quietly compelling.
The 2197 in Havana Tortoise with brown lenses is the warmer, more characterful counterpart to the classic black colourway — and in many respects it is the more revealing version of what makes this frame so successful. Where black acetate flattens detail, the rich, gloss havana tortoiseshell brings the 2197's precise proportions and thoughtful silhouette into sharper relief, showcasing the quality of the acetate and the considered craft behind the frame's construction.
Paired with deep brown crystal lenses, this colourway achieves a naturally cohesive warmth from front to back — one of the most harmonious lens and frame combinations available in the current Ray-Ban range.

The Optical Perspective
This colourway of the 2197 represents a particularly strong retail proposition. The combination of tortoiseshell acetate and brown lenses is one of the most universally appealing in the sunglass range — it flatters a very broad range of skin tones, reads equally well in casual and professional settings, and carries a warmth and approachability that the black colourway, for all its versatility, does not quite replicate.
For customers drawn to the Clubmaster Tortoise, the New Wayfarer Havana, the 2197 Havana represents a natural and compelling recommendation — offering the same warmth and heritage character in a more contemporary, less overtly branded silhouette. It will particularly appeal to customers who want a refined everyday sunglass that feels personal and considered rather than simply recognisable.
The softly squared lens shape suits the same broad range of face profiles as the black 2197 — working well on square and angular profiles through its curved corners, while providing structure and definition for rounder and oval face shapes. At 52mm, it remains in the refined small-to-medium category that suits customers who prefer considered proportions over oversized statements.
