James Bond (Daniel Craig) wears Vuarnet Edge 1613 sunglasses in No Time To Die (2020). Daniel Craig has also worn this model sunglasses at several public events.

007 wears the sunglasses in a scene involving a special airplane which was first seen in the Superbowl teaser trailer that was released on February 2nd 2020 (see screenshot). Bond is wearing his Commando outfit (click here for the complete outfit).
 

UPDATE July 2020: the correct color combination (read more below) is not available anymore, only the model with silver frame instead of dark metal frame.
 

UPDATE 2024: The correct glasses, even the alternative with the silver frame, are not available anymore at Vuarnet. There are some variations of the model still at Vuarnet US.
 

Affordable alternatives

There are some affordable alternatives on Amazon: especially the Carrera CA167 ($69) looks good in terms of how similar they are to the Edge, or these $20 Vintage Steampunk sunglasses which are just the most affordable but not as similar. Disclaimer: these two are definitely not the same high-quality as Vuarnet, but are a low-quality affordable alternatives.

You can try to find the correct darker color frame model on eBay although most offers on eBay are of the silver frame version.

Daniel Craig
Just like the Vuarnet Legend 06 model is also worn in No Time To Die, Daniel Craig has been wearing the Vuarnet Edge 1613 sunglasses off the set as well. For example, he wore the glasses at the British Formula 1 Grand Prix in July 2019 and the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2019, as well as when he arrived in Matera, Italy for filming Bond 25 scenes there.

About the frame color
The round Vuarnet Edge glasses have a 'Matte Black' frame with Grey Polarized lenses. The model number that I received is the Vuarnet VL1613 0002 1622. This model has a dark metal frame, not silver colour, but almost gunmetal (see bottom image and product image). This is the same model that Daniel Craig wears. There is also a Matte Black model that has a silver frame (the one with Skylinx lens, model nr VL1613 0013 7184). But in the images of Daniel Craig wearing the glasses at the Grand Prix and arriving in Italy, the frame is certainly the darker one (0002 1622).

Comments

I've approached Vuarnet regarding the VL1613 0002 162, the have been discontinued! They suggest the Skylinx lenses are the closest alternative.
Hello, Congratulations for your website ! I wanted to share Vuarnet's response to my email when I contacted them to purchase a pair of sunglasses VL1613 0002 1622. Below the email: Hello, This frame / lens combination has not been in our collection for several months and has been replaced by the color VL161300137184
Be careful ordering these from uncrate; they advertise the original type but then supplied me with the new silver framed model. They were willing to refund but still disappointing and frustrating that their website is not up-to-date.

Bond is no doubt my absolute favorite movie character and franchise of all time. Long live James Bond 007!
