Dressed casually and wearing Tom Ford 108 sunglasses, James Bond arrives in Port au Prince (Haiti), and makes his way by taxi to Hotel Dessalines on the tail of Mr Slate.

Tom Ford 108 Sunglasses from Quantum of Solace

Unlike the Persol 2720s from Casino Royale, the Tom Ford 108s get quite a bit of screen time and – remarkably – make it back to Europe intact as he wears them later when he goes to visit Mathis in Talamone (Italy).

Initially these sunglasses were thought to be an Oliver Peoples design, with identification based on photos taken on location. However, it later emerged that the design was a new Tom Ford model that closely resembles the Oliver Peoples sunglasses, causing some fans who had made an early purchase to return them for a refund.

Tom Ford 108 sunglasses are handmade in Italy by Marcolin. There are a number of frame/lens variations but the exact design appearing in Quntum of Solace features a semi-matte rhodium frame with black temple tips and smoke blue lenses – colour code 19V.
