When I saw the first of the new James Bond movies, I can’t say how much I was impressed with Daniel Craig’s Bond. The cocky self-love fest was over. Bond was stripped down now to a more realistic, albeit primal character. He is more human in his weakness, but more precise in his killing. There is a dash of Bourne in him now.
The new film, Quantum of Solace, has Bond flying all over the world trying to foil the plans of evil Dominic Greene, hell bent on ruling Bolivia. It also involves a revenge plot surrounding events from the first film. That’s all I know.
Want to look like James Bond?
Bond can be seen wearing a pair of sunglasses throughout the movie and it actually took me some time to find out what it is. Apparently a lot of people have been arguing about whether the frame is Tom Ford TF108 19 or are actually a discontinued pair of Oliver Peoples called Airman. I’ve read that Daniel Craig actually selected some of the items to be worn in Quantum of Solace, sunglasses included and he choose Olive Peoples, but as Tom Ford is doing all the clothing, they've actually supplied him with the TF108 19. Well, Daniel Craig has got excellent taste.

I saw the Tom Ford 108s on Ebay, but I've never heard of the model. Last time I checked the site it stops at 107.
And I, too, have heard that there'll be a limited re-release of the Airman, but for the life of me I can't remember where. Probably meaning it's B.S., eh?
I actually read on a message board that specializes in James Bond things (there is a message board for everything, yes) and people there had been calling Oliver Peoples to see about a re-issue. I guess they see the popularity the Airman could have.
Haven't seen the film yet but lots of people is more Jason Bourne than James Bond
Does anyone knows what are the sunglasses model worn by Dominic Greene in Haiti in the movie?
Have you got a picture of what Dominic Greene is wearing? That might help me.
I am sorry but I can not find pictures where you can really see them well...If you follow the following link, http://www.allocine.fr/video/player_gen_cmedia=18834414&cfilm=114851.html
you will see the trailer and you will be able to see the glasse at the 47th second of the trailer.
They look like vintage wayfarer in wood...but I do not know.
Many thanks anyway.

I concur with the comment above. Any leads on the Dominic Greene sunglasses from the Haiti docs scene would be greatly greatly appreciated.
I've looked everyone for them and can't find them. Tom Ford has many styles like them. It's a basic wayfarer style, and you will find some styles on the Tom Ford site that are almost identical.
they are not tom ford , will be good to know exactly the brand ... :)
They remind me of "Chrome Hearts" sunglasses. But i am not sure
Does anyone know of the sunglasses Fernando Guillén Cuervo, the Bolivian Chief of Police, is wearing? he's the guy on the right of this picture...

Yes, I would really like to know what these sunglasses are as well, does anyone know?
I would say that Dominic Greenes sunglasses in the dock scene would be a Cutler And Gross 0692 optical frame fittet with tinted lenses

It could be Cutler and Gross. It is very similar looking.

Ok everyone, I contacted Cutler and Gross and the pair of sunglasses Dominic Greene is wearing are Cutler and Gross! According to them the model is 0425 Brown Stripe and can be found at their flagship store. They go for 249 Euros. Hope this helps.
Yeah, what are the Fernando Cuervo sunglasses? It's hard to see in the picture, but a there is a gold t-shaped bridge to them.
