Dita LXN-EVO DTS403-A-01: The Next Chapter of Flight and Grandmaster
Dita LXN-EVO DTS403-A-01: The Next Chapter of Flight and Grandmaster
A navigator frame built to raise Dita's own bar — oversized hinge plates paying tribute to two of the house's most iconic series, finished in black acetate and titanium.
Dita doesn't casually reference its own archive. When the house says a new frame "pays homage" to something, it means the design team went back to two of its most technically significant releases and pulled real engineering forward. The Dita LXN-EVO DTS403-A-01 is built exactly that way — a navigator frame carrying details lifted from both the Flight Series and the Grandmaster Series, two lineages with genuinely different stories behind them.
At Lexor Miami, an official Dita authorized dealer, the LXN-EVO is currently in limited stock. Here's what those two references actually mean, and everything else built into this frame.
The Dita DTS403-A-01 LXN-EVO is a unisex navigator-style sunglasses frame, handcrafted in Japan with an acetate front frame, external titanium lens rims and brow bar, and oversized hinge plates with enamel inlay that reference Dita's Flight and Grandmaster series. It features a custom titanium nose pad with diamond-pressed detail, acetate temple tips, Dita's signature hex screw hinges, and 100% UVA/UVB protection lenses with anti-reflective coating. It's $1,235 through authorized dealer Lexor Miami.
Why Is Dita a Respected Name in Luxury Eyewear?
Founded in Los Angeles in 1995 by lifelong friends John Juniper and Jeff Solorio, Dita set out to treat eyewear with the same reverence as a fine watch. Every frame is handcrafted in Japan across as many as 320 production steps and up to eight months of work — a process most eyewear brands simply don't attempt.
- Founded in 1995 by John Juniper and Jeff Solorio
- Every frame handcrafted in Japan by master artisans
- Up to 320 production steps and eight months per frame
- A design language rooted in vintage 1950s–60s forms, reinterpreted with modern engineering
What Are the Flight and Grandmaster Series, and Why Do They Matter Here?
The LXN-EVO's oversized hinge plates are a direct nod to two of Dita's most significant releases — and they come from very different places.
What Makes the LXN-EVO So Special?
- A classic navigator silhouette built for maximum visual impact
- Oversized hinge plates finished with enamel inlay
- A custom titanium nose pad carrying Dita's signature diamond-pressed detail
- External titanium lens rims and brow bar over an acetate front frame
Diamond-Pressed Titanium, Explained
This isn't decorative language. The diamond-press technique is a specific finishing process Dita introduced with the Flight Series in 2002, and it's carried forward here on the nose pad — a detail collectors of the brand will recognize immediately.
Built for Presence
Dita is explicit about the intent: the LXN-EVO is "designed for maximum impact." The oversized hinge plates aren't subtle, and they're not meant to be — they're the frame's clearest link back to Grandmaster's bold, hip-hop-rooted DNA.
