DITA DUBSYSTEM DTS157-A-02: An Ornate Evolution of the Navigator Silhouette
DITA DUBSYSTEM DTS157-A-02: An Ornate Evolution of the Navigator Silhouette
DITA's Philosophy of Continual Evolution
Founded in 1995, DITA Eyewear built its reputation on reinventing eyewear as a discreet form of luxury — frames that range from bold, character-driven silhouettes to new interpretations of timeless shapes, all produced through genuinely artisanal manufacturing. DUBSYSTEM is a direct expression of that philosophy: rather than simply reissue its aviator-inspired SUBSYSTEM model, DITA evolved it into a more ornate, highly detailed navigator frame — a deliberate step forward rather than a repeat.
Design: From SUBSYSTEM to DUBSYSTEM
DUBSYSTEM builds on SUBSYSTEM's foundation by elevating it to an all-titanium navigator silhouette, decorated with pressed line details along the lens rim, temple end pieces, and temples themselves. The result is an oversized frame excellently defined by its own detailing — ornamental without losing the discreet, understated confidence that defines DITA's design language.
The DTS157-A-02 colorway pairs a Black Iron frame front with Yellow Gold titanium hardware, finished with dark burgundy to clear gradient lenses — one of three lens options DITA offers across the DUBSYSTEM line, alongside a classic green and a dark turquoise gradient.
Materials: All-Titanium Construction
The frame is built entirely from titanium, chosen for its combination of light weight and structural strength, with custom titanium nose pads for a secure, adjustable fit. The CR-39 lenses carry an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare, though this particular lens option is not polarized.
Craftsmanship: What Goes Into a Single DITA Frame
Every DITA frame is manufactured in Japan, a decision the brand ties directly to the precision its designs demand. A single frame can take up to 8 months to complete, moving through as many as 350 separate production steps and involving the hands of up to 100 individual craftsmen — some contributing a combined total of up to 100 years of hands-on experience refining their specific techniques. It's a level of detail that, as DITA itself puts it, can't be seen directly, only felt in the final piece.
Who Is This Frame For?
DUBSYSTEM is built for collectors and individualists who want an oversized, statement-making silhouette with genuine material substance behind it — not simply a bold shape, but one built from all-titanium construction and finished by hand. It suits buyers who already appreciate DITA's aviator-inspired designs and want a more elaborate, detailed evolution of that identity.
Authenticity & Warranty
As an authorized DITA dealer, Lexor Miami guarantees that every DUBSYSTEM frame is 100% authentic and brand new, arriving in original packaging with a magnetic DITA box, microfiber cleaning cloth, microfiber soft case, and warranty booklet. DITA backs every frame with a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in material or workmanship.
Care & Maintenance
- Avoid resting the sunglasses on top of your head, which can widen the titanium temples and loosen the fit over time.
- Store in the included microfiber case in a cool, dry place; prolonged heat exposure (like a hot car) can deform the frame.
- Clean under lukewarm water with a mild, soapy solution, then dry gently with the included microfiber cloth.
- Use a proper lens cleaner rather than a shirt or paper towel to protect the anti-reflective coating.
