Persol - 714 Steve McQueen - Original - Havana / Polarized Green - 0PO0714SM - 24-P1 - Sunglasses - Persol Eyewear

Persol - For The Sun

Turin 1917, Giuseppe Ratti, photographer and owner of Berry Opticians, began to make technically advanced glasses, designed to satisfy the demands of pilots and sports drivers who required comfort, protection and optimum vision.

Protector glasses were born, made using round smoked lenses with rubber edges and attached to the head by means of elastic bands. Soon they were adopted by the Armed Forces and by pilots in the Italian Military Aviation.

Intuition, ingenuity, innovation and quality made Protector glasses the choice of several air forces around the world, including the United States. During this period they were worn by flying, driving and motorcycling aces - D'Annunzio, De Pinedo, Ferrarin, Chiron, Nazzaro, Fangio, Opessi, Bolognini and Ghersi to name but a few of their most famous users.

Product Details

Introduced in the 1960s as a folding version of the 649, the 714 was the first ever folding sunglasses model. The iconic teardrop shape, the key bridge, the timeless acetates and the folding system make it a masterpiece of high Italian craftsmanship, which requires ten extra production steps compared to standard models. Steve McQueen ™: celebrates an icon with all the details of the original model worn by the actor.

Lenses

From standard to polarized, the selection of crystal sun lenses represents quality and excellence. Each product is made of the most precious optical materials and guarantees maximum protection and visual clarity.

Material

The acetate made from cotton and pigments creates variations that exclusively characterize Persol sunglasses, making each frame unique. Handmade with top quality materials, all glasses are a natural work of art.

Arrow

Giuseppe Ratti, founder of Persol, immediately understood the importance of transforming his products into icons. For this he was inspired by the swords of ancient warriors for his Arrow symbol, the undisputed emblem of the Brand. The Freccia makes each Persol eyewear unique and inimitable.

Meflecto

Patented in the 1930s, Meflecto is the first flexible temple system, designed to ensure maximum comfort by eliminating the pressure of the glasses on the temples. This system allows the glasses to adapt to the physiognomy of any face, still revealing itself today as an unrivaled technological solution.
