KT‑574U “Eclipse”: Lightweight Japanese Titanium Eyewear for Summer 2026 A Celestial Alignment Few natural events are as mesmerizing as a solar eclipse. As the moon slides across the sun, light softens and shadows lengthen, and the world is suspended between day and night. KIO YAMATO’s KT‑574U “Eclipse” translates that moment into a piece of lightweight Japanese titanium eyewear.

At KIO YAMATO, the quest to engineer that feeling has driven decades of innovation.
