The Persol 3092SM sunglasses bring together over a century of Italian eyewear expertise in a refined round frame. Handcrafted from premium cellulose acetate, these sunglasses feature the classic keyhole bridge that Persol made famous—a design detail that ensures a secure, comfortable fit while adding vintage character.
Italian Heritage Meets Modern Versatility
Since 1917, Persol (from the Italian per il sole, meaning "for the sun") has been crafting eyewear in Turin, Italy. The 3092SM carries forward that tradition with full-rim construction in rich acetate finishes—including warm havana tortoise and the distinctive terra di siena. The oval lens shape flatters a wide range of face shapes, and you can choose from gradient or solid lenses depending on your preference. Lenses are available in standard CR-39 plastic or upgraded polarized options; check availability for photochromic lenses at checkout if you want adaptive tint.
Look closely at the temples and you'll spot Persol's iconic Silver Arrow—a functional flex hinge that's been a brand signature since the 1930s. It's paired with a double band accent that reinforces the frame's heritage roots. These aren't just decorative touches; they're part of what makes a Persol frame instantly recognizable.
Built for Prescription Use and All-Day Comfort
The 3092SM is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses and wear them as your everyday pair. The frame is available in 50mm and 52mm lens widths with a 19mm bridge and 145mm temples—proportions that work well for medium faces. The acetate material is naturally hypoallergenic and lightweight, making these comfortable for extended wear. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
The round-oval silhouette strikes a balance between retro appeal and contemporary wearability. It's a shape that's been in Persol's lineup for decades because it simply works—throw them on for an afternoon espresso in the piazza or your daily commute.

I have seen these for years , but they were 25% less in designer optics, so now they are mine
Great price, great selection, fast fulfillment!
My glasses are amazing - exactly what I wanted. The fact it took almost a month for them to arrive with no communication was very frustrating.
AS TITLE
I have worn the PO3092SM for several years purchased from another Persol dealer. DesignerOptics.com website made this easy for me to switch to them. Great service and the same great Persol product. Keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Persol 3092SM sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Persol 3092SM frames are fully prescription-ready. You can have your optician fit them with single vision, progressive, or polarized prescription lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides secure lens retention for prescription use.
What is the keyhole bridge on the Persol 3092SM?
The keyhole bridge is a vintage-inspired design that resembles an old-fashioned keyhole shape where the frame rests on your nose. This bridge style offers a more secure and comfortable fit, especially for those with lower nose bridges or higher cheekbones, and it's a signature detail on many classic Persol frames.
What face shapes work best with the Persol 3092SM?
The 3092SM's oval-round shape is versatile and suits many face shapes, particularly oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. The rounded lens shape helps soften angular features, while the keyhole bridge and balanced proportions ensure a flattering fit for most wearers.
What is the Silver Arrow on Persol sunglasses?
The Silver Arrow is Persol's iconic hinge emblem, inspired by the swords of ancient warriors. Introduced in the 1930s, this arrow-shaped detail is both functional and decorative, serving as the brand's unmistakable trademark. It represents Persol's commitment to blending performance with Italian design heritage.
What are the frame measurements for the Persol 3092SM?
The Persol 3092SM is available in two sizes: 50mm and 52mm lens width, both with a 19mm bridge width and 145mm temple length. The 50mm size works well for small to medium faces, while the 52mm offers a slightly larger fit for medium to larger faces.
Are Persol 3092SM sunglasses made in Italy?
Yes, all Persol acetate frames, including the 3092SM, are handcrafted in Italy near Turin. The brand has maintained its commitment to Italian craftsmanship since 1917, with each frame made from premium cellulose acetate and assembled by skilled artisans.

Persol 3092SM vs. Other Classic Persol Frames
If you're drawn to the Persol 3092SM's round shape and Italian craftsmanship, you might also be considering other iconic Persol models. Here's how they compare.
3092SM vs. Persol 0649
The Persol 0649 is the brand's most legendary frame—the one Marcello Mastroianni wore in Divorce, Italian Style. Both models share the keyhole bridge and Silver Arrow details, but the 0649 has a larger, more substantial presence with the Victor Flex nose bridge system. If you want the most iconic Persol silhouette and don't mind a bolder look, the 0649 is the choice. The 3092SM offers similar vintage character in a slightly more understated, modern-friendly package at a lower starting price ($145 vs. $224).
3092SM vs. Persol 2803S
The Persol 2803S is another round acetate frame in a comparable price range ($220-$397). Both are prescription-ready and feature full-rim construction, but the 3092SM's keyhole bridge gives it more vintage character and a distinctive fit. If you prefer a traditional round bridge over the keyhole style, the 2803S is worth considering. Otherwise, the 3092SM delivers more of Persol's heritage design language.
3092SM vs. Persol Folding 0714
The Persol Folding 0714 is the frame Steve McQueen made famous—the world's first folding sunglasses. It shares the round aesthetic and Italian craftsmanship but adds ingenious folding hinges for portability. The 0714 has a slightly flatter profile and commands a premium price ($335-$516) for its unique mechanism. If you travel frequently or want the McQueen connection, the 0714 is unmatched. For everyday wear without the folding feature, the 3092SM offers excellent value and classic Persol style.
Bottom line: The 3092SM sits in the sweet spot—more distinctive than the 2803S, more accessible than the 0649, and more straightforward than the 0714. It's a versatile round frame that delivers authentic Persol heritage without compromise.
