Josh O'Connor stepped out at The Crown finale event with the kind of quiet sophistication that mirrored his celebrated portrayal of Prince Charles across two seasons of the Netflix phenomenon. The British actor, whose nuanced performance in seasons three and four earned him a Golden Globe and an Emmy, chose the Persol PO0649 for the evening. The Italian-crafted frame — a refined navigator silhouette with slim metal construction and the brand's signature arrow hinge — brought a distinctly European polish to O'Connor's look. Worn against a dark, tailored ensemble, the silver-toned PO0649 caught the event lighting in a way that felt deliberate without being ostentatious. Persol has always traded on understatement, and the PO0649 is one of its quietest designs: the kind of frame that rewards a second look rather than demanding the first. It was a fitting choice for an actor who spent years mastering the art of suggesting entire emotional worlds with a single glance.
The Persol PO0649 is an iconic square-frame sunglasses model crafted from high-quality acetate, defined by its bold structure and distinctive keyhole bridge. Originally designed in the 1950s, it features thick rims and the signature Persol arrow at the temples.
Typically equipped with crystal lenses, including polarized options, it provides clear vision and reliable sun protection. The integrated Meflecto system ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
