The collaboration brings together two pioneers of design and quality made in Germany, pairing the innovative product engineering by MYKITA with Leica’s legendary expertise in optics.
Design Language
Each frame is handmade at the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, combining seamless mechanical solutions with refined material connections that mirror the precision and clarity of Leica’s iconic instruments. The familiar contours of the Leica lens hood are echoed in frame shapes; the knurled grip detail on lenses appears on bridge and temple surfaces. The minimalist palette centres around black and grey with accents of red, silver, gold, and white – colours deeply embedded in the Leica universe.
Advanced Lens Technology
Developed exclusively by Leica Eyecare and manufactured in Germany, the sun lenses meet the highest optical standards. The 1.6 index organic lenses feature the AQUADURA® VISION PRO coating – adapted from professional photography and sport optics – offering invisible anti-reflective protection, fingerprint resistance, and full UV coverage. Each lens is individually quality-checked and issued with a serial number and warranty, underscoring the single-unit production standard.
New Collection
The collection continues to evolve with a brand-new hybrid concept and refined colour styles. ML16 (sun) and optical model ML17 (optical) present angular navigator and aviator silhouettes crafted from stainless steel and fitted with slender rings of MYLON® – MYKITA’s signature high-tech material. The result is a visual and tactile interplay between matt surfaces and metallic precision. New colourway Light Gold is applied across existing styles.
