I recently read an article regarding James Bonds sunglasses and how they never appear to be a particular brand . At first I deemed this article to be untrue; after all we know everything about Bond, from what watch he wears, to how he takes his Martini, to which shampoo he uses. However, upon fast-forwarding and rewinding through many James Bond films, I actually found this factor to be true up until Piers Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

With the increased amount of placement products within the movie industry over recent years and also during past years, it is perhaps surprising that the idol that is James Bond does not appear to wear a distinctive brand of sunglasses.

Sean Connery did appear in a pair of Ray Ban style Wayfarer sunglasses in From Russia with Love and Thunderball. However, unfortunately these sunglasses were never identified to be belonging to a specific brand.

Pierce Brosnan appeared in many a style during his Reign as Bond, the most popular being the clear lensed Calvin Klein 718F and CK 2007's; and the Persol 2672-S which we wore in Die Another Day. Unfortunately Bond fans, these styles of sunglasses have been discontinued, unless you can find them on Ebay that is!

Daniel Craig in Casino Royal who wore the Persol 2244-S and Persol 2720-S models and in Quantum of Solace he wears Tom Ford 108 sunglasses.

So there you have it, the article was slightly true for the older Bond's, but not for the newer Bond films. Unfortunately you cannot get your hands on Sean Connery’s Shades, Pierce Brosnan's Sunglasses; but the Persol and Tom Ford models worn by Daniel Craig are still available, so if you want to add James Bond sunglasses to your collection you still have a chance before they become unavailable or collector's items!
