Persol Glasses

I know the glasses that Bond is wearing are on amazon.com the 2244s's, however, I found this picture and this picture does not look like them. Am I mistaken?

In those he is wearing the Persol 2720 (or is it the 2070, I always forget) Either way, he wears both pairs of glasses in the film, and have both been posted about numerous times. Take a look around the memorabilia section, Mantis has posted pictures of both of the sunglasses.

Ahh ok. My apologies. I didn't know that there were two in the film. Damn, two watches, two sun glasses, just can't keep up with all these expenses.

I know what you mean. But that is just how they get you! You can't be Bond if you only have one watch... you need two! And two pairs of sunglasses! And a Sony Vaio! And... etc.

I highly recommend Persols. I love them, they are the best sunglasses I've ever had. B-)

Where would one be able to get a pair for an excellent deal?

On the 2720s model what color does he wear exactly? On the persol website they offer so many colors. Does he wear the frame that is brown and black, not black completely? I can't tell

007 wears two pairs of sunglasses in Casino Royale, both of which are supplied by Persol.

He first appears in a pair of 2240-S shades with gunmetal frame and polarised grey lenses in the Bahamas.

Later in the film he has changed to model 2720-S in tortoiseshell with green lenses. To commemorate the film, Persol has released an ultra-limited edition model of the 2720-S - just 200 are available.

The special edition features the words Casino Royale on the inside of the frame and a commemorative box, which is also available with the standard version.

They are BROWN lenses for sure...look in the collection section, there has been a great deal of research around this....:)

Persol's website even says they're gunmetal and brown. A bit late in the day but it's there now.
