Specializing in handcrafted, luxury eyewear made from the finest quality CR-39 optical-grade mineral glass, the Los Angeles-based brand has revolutionized the fashion world.

Barton Perreira 007 legacy sunglasses are cool, comfortable, and forward-thinking.

The first 007 Goldfinger model is very loosely based on a pair of Persol 828 sunglasses worn by Sean Connery behind the scenes in Switzerland while shooting the famous car chase scene in the mountains. These sunglasses are not seen in the film itself, but a similar pair was on display at an exhibition in Switzerland. The handmade frame is assembled in Japan from zylonite acetate containing metal core wiring to provide a skeletal foundation with supreme comfort and a flexible fit. The signature lightweight feel of the sunglasses is due to the resin-based polymer plastic used. Zylonite is tumbled for several days before being hand-polished twice to create a seamlessly smooth surface. This material choice and uncompromising process result in a light, durable product with a deep gloss finish.

Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the James Bond series, this limited-edition design reimagines the Aviator 007 AVTAK model popularized by iconic “A View To A Kill” villain Max Zorin. Bi-colored titanium surrounds a sophisticated lens with the Zorin breath logo. The original 1962 007 logo plaque adorns the temple tip of each frame. Revolutionary technology, unsurpassed craftsmanship, and ingenious design have made Barton Perreira AVTAK sunglasses sought-after accents. This AVTAK Sport design takes its inspiration from Bond’s alpine look, in the snow chase scene in the same film. Beveled acetate surrounds a sophisticated lens and the style features titanium temples for an ultra-lightweight fit.

The limited edition 007 B Fourteen Aviator design pays homage to a frame worn by James Bond in the same film. Handcrafted in lightweight Japanese acetate with a titanium top bar, the lenses are finished with an anti-reflection coating and feature a secret breath detail of the 1962-era 007 logo. The 007 Thunderball model was inspired by the sunglasses worn by James Bond in the 1965 movie called Thunderball. It is not exactly the same as the shades worn in the film, but have a similar Wayfarer shape. The sunglasses have polished zylonite frames and polarized lenses with invisible detailing that only reveals itself when you breathe on them. The 007 Thunderball Sunglasses are available in several colors, but the Black / Nocturnal Polarised Edition is the closest to the sunglasses worn by James Bond in the Bahamas in Thunderball.
