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

This style has the same iconic, unique and untouchable pilot shape as the 649 but with a slimmer profile. The model perfectly embodies/encapsulates the value and images evoked by the icon, for true Persol lovers for whom the 649 is a cult classic. This reinterpretation is particularly suited to both men and women thanks to its lighter, thinner execution.
