Daniel Craig has played James Bond across five films, wearing some of the most iconic sunglasses in cinema history — from Tom Ford Marko aviators in Skyfall to Vuarnet glaciers in Spectre. But when the cameras stop rolling, Craig consistently reaches for something far more interesting: MYKITA.
Craig has been photographed numerous times wearing the MYKITA Helmut — a refined, intellectual frame that perfectly captures his off-screen persona. Unlike the flashy product placements of the Bond franchise, his choice of MYKITA speaks to a genuine appreciation for engineering and craftsmanship.
The Helmut is quintessential MYKITA: handmade in Berlin using the brand's patented screwless spiral hinge, constructed from a single sheet of stainless steel that's been precision-cut and hand-bent into shape. It weighs almost nothing, flexes without breaking, and never needs a screw tightened. It's the kind of frame an engineer would design if engineers had taste — which is exactly what MYKITA's Berlin manufactory delivers.
What makes Craig's choice so telling is what it says about the man behind Bond. He doesn't reach for the obvious luxury logo. He reaches for the frame that's genuinely better-made, genuinely innovative, and genuinely comfortable. That's the MYKITA difference — and it's why we carry over 375 styles in our collection.
The MYKITA Helmut features a classic rectangular shape with slightly rounded edges, available in multiple colorways from matte black to shiny graphite. It sits perfectly on medium-to-large faces and pairs equally well with a tailored suit or a weekend henley. If you've ever wanted to channel Craig's effortless sophistication without the Aston Martin price tag, this is where you start.
