FAQs

What makes the 649 silhouette iconic?

The 649 silhouette, originally designed in 1957, is characterized by its distinctive arrow-shaped Meflecto system hinges and its unique, rounded lens shape, which was revolutionary for its time and has remained a symbol of Persol's craftsmanship and style.

Are these sunglasses truly polarized?

Yes, the Persol PO0649NE 24/M3 sunglasses feature polarized crystal lenses designed to reduce glare effectively.

What material is the frame made of?

The frame is made from high-quality acetate, a durable and versatile plastic derived from cotton línter, known for its rich colors and comfortable feel.

How do I know if these sunglasses will fit me?

These are designed as a unisex model with the classic 649 shape, which tends to fit a medium to large face. However, fit can vary. Refer to product dimensions if available or try them on if possible.

What is the 'Havana' color?

Havana refers to a classic tortoiseshell pattern, typically featuring shades of brown and amber, offering a rich and timeless aesthetic.

Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?

Lens replacement may be possible through authorized Persol repair services or experienced opticians, especially if the frame is still in good condition.

Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?

Yes, Persol lenses are designed to provide excellent UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear streaky after cleaning

Ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth and avoid harsh cleaning agents. A mild soap and water solution is recommended for stubborn spots, followed by thorough drying.

Frame feels loose or uncomfortable

Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. Avoid attempting to bend the acetate frame yourself, as it can be brittle.

Polarization effect seems inconsistent with screens

Polarized lenses can sometimes create a rainbow effect or reduce visibility on certain digital screens (e.g., phone displays, car dashboards). This is a characteristic of polarization and not a defect. Try tilting your head or screen to find an optimal viewing angle.

Scratches on lenses

Minor scratches on crystal lenses are difficult to remove and may require professional assessment. Protect lenses by storing them in the case and avoiding contact with hard surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic and stylish design with the iconic 649 shape.
  • High-quality acetate frame offers durability and comfort.
  • Polarized crystal lenses provide excellent glare reduction and visual clarity.
  • Unisex fit makes them suitable for a wide range of wearers.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Premium product may come at a higher price point.
  • Acetate frames can be sensitive to extreme heat.
  • Crystal lenses, while durable, can be heavier than plastic alternatives.
  • Specific Havana pattern may vary slightly between pairs.
  • Polarized lenses can sometimes interfere with digital screens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. Their unisex design makes them compatible with most adult face shapes. To care for your Persol sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses and frame. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of neutral soap and water can be used on the lenses, followed by rinsing and thorough drying with the microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the acetate or lens coatings.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in their protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
  3. Handling: Avoid placing the sunglasses lens-down on surfaces. Protect the frame from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, such as leaving them on a car dashboard in direct sunlight, as this can warp the acetate.
