I think we don't need to complicate things. Just use the Bond or Holmes approach. In one of the old Basil Rathbone Holmes films, there was a letter dated 1897. Later on in the franchise, he and Watson were active during WWII. We simply accepted it.
No-one feels the need to come up with a 'solution' to how James Bond doesn't age and remains active. It doesn't bother me that GOLDFINGER was clearly set in the 1960s, yet M called Bond a "relic of the Cold War" in GOLDENEYE.
I subscribe to the "every story takes place now" whether it's comic heroes, Holmes or Bond.
