Persol PO0649 Sunglasses

Persol PO0649 Sunglasses

The PO0649 is far more than just another Persol sunglasses model. It is one of the most iconic frames in PERSOL's history. Originally designed for Turin's tram drivers, it now embodies vintage Italian elegance in all its splendour. A true transgenerational style icon, the PO0649 appeals equally to admirers of timeless design and connoisseurs of characterful frames. Its aviator silhouette, wraparound lines and visual balance make it an essential sun piece, as well suited to a refined urban outfit as to a relaxed yet confident look.

An aviator frame designed for every face shape

The PERSOL PO0649 adapts to all face shapes thanks to a generous choice of three distinct sizes — 52-20, 54-20 and 56-20 — allowing a harmonious fit for every face. The temple length of 135 millimetres ensures stable wear throughout the day. Designed to suit both men and women, this unisex frame offers remarkable wearing comfort, notably through its Meflecto system integrated into the temples. This technical innovation, unique to PERSOL, gives the frame a natural flexibility that gently conforms to the shape of the face without creating pressure points. The aviator style of the PO0649, instantly recognisable, enhances the gaze with power and elegance while maintaining a subtle, perfectly balanced line.

A palette of colours with multiple inspirations

The PO0649 is available in a range of seven carefully selected colours to highlight the richness of its silhouette and the diversity of its uses. The classic black paired with green lenses offers a sober, masculine look ideal for urban styles. The tortoiseshell model combined with brown lenses evokes a vintage spirit, while brown with blue lenses adds a touch of modern freshness. Other, more nuanced combinations further enrich the palette, such as tortoiseshell with green lenses, tortoiseshell with blue lenses, and gradient variants that add depth to the gaze, including tortoiseshell with gradient brown lenses and tortoiseshell with gradient blue lenses. Each colour pairing is conceived to meet a precise stylistic intention while ensuring optimal sun protection.

PERSOL craftsmanship in the service of visual performance

Crafted in Italy using rigorous artisanal methods, the PO0649 benefits from exemplary finishing. Its acetate frame, polished by hand, offers a silky touch and reassuring durability. The lenses used, often polarised depending on the variant, guarantee sharp visual clarity even in conditions of intense brightness. They effectively filter reflections while preserving colour purity and eye health through full UV protection. Each pair is designed to last and to deliver a sun-wearing experience that is at once comfortable, high-performing and aesthetically refined. The frame also features PERSOL's iconic silver arrow, inlaid with precision on the temples, subtly evoking the prestigious heritage of the PERSOL house.
