David Beckham DB7000/SFLAT

DB7000/SFLAT: shape and build

Seen front on, this is a square front with a flat brow and squared corners. The lens is held by a full rim all the way round each lens. It rests on a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The feed gives the material as acetate. Acetate is the plant-based plastic that most designer frames are cut and polished from sheet; it holds deep colour and an optician can re-adjust it with heat. The frame is finished with acetate temples. The branding sits on the lens. Its signature is the visible textured wire core through transparent temples. Colour 063MHA is how David Beckham labels this version.

The numbers on the temple

The size is 54-22-150: lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. At 54 mm across the lens this is a medium frame. No one adjusts the fit before it ships; an optician can tweak the nose and temple bend in minutes.

What the lens does

The lenses are dark brown gradient. A brown tint warms the view slightly and sharpens contrast. A gradient tint, darker at the top than at the bottom. Nothing in the supplier's data says these lenses are polarized or gives a UV rating, so we say neither.
