Sunglasses on a ski slope are equipment first and style second. In The World Is Not Enough, Bond wears a pair of Calvin Klein 2007 sunglasses during the ski chase with Elektra King, which is where the Calvin Klein 2007 sunglasses earn their place in the film. We found no current listing, so this page is about the look and how to find a pair.
In the film
Pierce Brosnan’s Bond wears them in The World Is Not Enough (1999) while skiing with Elektra, as part of the Ski Outfit. Our records give the model number as 2007 and rate the match as the screen-used pair, with several sources agreeing. Our catalogue also notes a special-edition box carrying a 007 logo.
The details
A model number, not a name. The glasses are known simply as the Calvin Klein 2007. Our research did not turn up frame measurements, lens colour or materials we could verify, so we describe none of them. Check each listing’s photographs and measurements against the pair on screen.
Not sold new. Our research found no current listing for this model. The buy button is a search of eBay, so the stock is second-hand and condition matters more than usual.
The special box. Our catalogue notes a boxed edition with a 007 logo. That adds collector interest, not performance, and the glasses are what you will be wearing.
Wearing it now
Sunglasses made for a mountain still work in a city if the rest of the outfit is plain. We would wear a pair like this with a navy or grey knit and a simple jacket, and keep the trousers dark. If you plan to ski in them, check the lenses for scratches and the arms for fit before you trust them in bright snow light.
Buying second-hand. Ask for photographs of the inside of the arms, where markings are usually found, and of the nose pads and hinges. Avoid pairs with deep lens scratches, because they cannot be repaired at home. Replacement lenses are a job for an optician.
Fit. Frames from this period can be small by current standards. Ask the seller for the lens width and bridge size, and compare them with a pair you already wear.
Care. Clean lenses with a microfibre cloth, never your shirt, and keep them in a hard case.
In the same spirit
For a pair you can buy new, the Ray-Ban RB3136 Caravan is in our catalogue as an alternative. It is a different frame and was not worn in this film.
