Persol is once again dressing the gaze of James Bond, the legendary British secret agent, in the new 007 movie Casino Royale. James Bond perfectly represents Persol image and values: fashionable, stylish, yet sophisticated.

In Casino Royale, James Bond wears two pairs of Persol frames during the film. At the start of the plot, Bond wearsa Persol metal frame: Persol 2244. In the second part of the story after experiencing a number of adventures, James changes toPersol style 2720 (turtle frame and green lenses, color code 24/31)

Persol recently was introduced to a new generation, as the sunglasses worn by Daniel Craig's James Bond in Casino Royale. Craig wore the 2244 as Bond, as in photo below. These in GUNMETAL matte metal frame with black, metal-reinforced polished plastic temples and grey Polarized lenses. A great look for any season, classic and contemporary fusion. Slight "wrap".

As 007, Craig is only the latest in a long line of Persol wearers, including famed actress and privacy seeker Greta Garbo. Pierce Brosnan's Bond also wore Persols in Die Another Day. Nicholas Cage was in Persols throughout Lord of War. The Persol 649s Steve McQueen wore in Thomas Crown Affair were among personal effects in McQueen's estate auction and set the auction record for a pair of sunglasses: $70,000. Also worn by Marcello Mastroianni in "Divorce, Italian Style" with Sophia Loren, and by countless other stars and cool people since. Persol's patented "Meflecto" temple construction - with side flexibility and strength provided by inset bars of steel or nylon for perfect fit - has never been duplicated. (The 2244 has two metal Meflecto bars on temples.)
