The second pair of Persol sunglasses worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale are model Persol 2720-S. In fact this model, consisting of a tortoiseshell frame and green lenses with Persol’s distinctive hinge, hardly appears in the film at all.

James Bond

While there is a publicity photo showing 007 at the wheel of his Aston Martin DBS and wearing Persol 2720-S sunglasses, the scene doesn’t appear in the film at all as far as I can see. In fact you have to wait until a Bond and Vesper arrive in Venice before they have their screen time – around 5 seconds from my reckoning. The scene is when they are on the yacht and in the narrow waterways of Venice.

There are several options available for this model, so if you do want to get the genuine James Bond look you need to choose colour code 24/31. You can buy this model of sunglasses from the following online retailers:

When Casino Royale was released to massively positive reviews, it introduced Daniel Craig as a harder edged James Bond and took the character back to his roots.

The film’s huge budget was partly offset by huge product placement, including two pairs of sunglasses provided by Persol. The first of these models, seen when 007 lands in the Bahamas are Persol 2244-S, consisting of a gunmetal grey satin metal frame and brown lenses, colour code 834/33.

The Persol 2244 sunglasses go perfectly with Bond’s light grey linen suit and white short sleeved shirt as he steps off the seaplane while on his mission.
