David Beckham DB7118/S

A closer look at the DB7118/S

What you get is a square front with a flat brow and squared corners. It has 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. Our supplier lists the frame 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 metal wing details at hinge corners. Colour 00869O is how David Beckham labels this version.

The numbers on the temple

The size is 52-23-150: lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. A 52 mm lens puts it in the medium range for sunglasses, so check it against a pair you already own. Nobody bends the temples or nose rest before shipping; an optician can do that in a few minutes if the fit is off.

What the lens does

Grey gradient lenses are fitted. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. A gradient tint, darker at the top than at the bottom. The supplier's data carries no polarization or UV rating for this pair, so we claim none.

If Havana is not your colour

The DB7118/S is also listed here as 07C5KU (Black Crystal with blue grey lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.
