DITA and 424 have officially released a collaborative edition of the Artoa.92 aviator frame
The release is strictly limited to 100 total pairs split across two exclusive lens colorways
Each custom-packaged pair comes complete with a piece of sandpaper inviting wearers to distress the titanium frame
DITA and 424 have officially launched the 424 x Artoa.92 eyewear collaboration. Designed in Los Angeles and handcrafted in Japan, the limited-edition sunglasses reimagine DITA’s signature titanium aviator silhouette through Guillermo Andrade’s distressed design language.
The 424 x Artoa.92 centers on a Japanese-engineered titanium aviator frame, marrying DITA’s precision handwork with 424’s signature Los Angeles attitude. Embodying a design concept titled “Perfection, Disturbed,” every pair arrives pristine inside a custom leather case styled after the worn textures found throughout 424’s apparel lines. To personalize each piece over time, the packaging includes an enclosed piece of sandpaper, encouraging the wearer to manually distress and scuff the frame.
The release is strictly limited to 100 pairs globally, divided evenly into 50 pairs featuring “Pigeon Blood” lenses and 50 pairs featuring “Smoke” lenses.
The 424 x Artoa.92 releases on September 18, 2026, for $595 USD exclusively via DITA, U.S. DITA flagship stores, and the 424 Flagship on Melrose Place in Los Angeles.
