Reviews

Awesome Frames

"I’ve finally had enough of buying cheap glasses online every year and decided to invest in a good pair. After doing a lot of research, I found the Matte Black Miltzen and I’m thrilled with my choice. I’ve had them for about four weeks now and I can confidently say that they are the best quality frames I’ve ever owned. I highly recommend them."

The perfect frames

"Love my new Moscots. I've had 4 pairs over the years, and I think these might be my favourite. The colour is lovely and the shape really suits my face. The virtual try on was very helpful."

— Rachel G. (5/5)

Third pair

"Consistent and timeless…. great quality"

"I love these! Great quality and light weight. Cant wait to see how they turn oit as sunglassess."

— Deneen (5/5)

impressive service

"i received my moscot within three days from NY to Vienna, Austria. I‘m deeply impressed. Not to speak about the usual quality and fit of my new Miltzen."

— Gerald R. (5/5)

Perfect craftsmanship on prescribed lenses

"The frame fits perfectly, and more importantly for me, my high-prescription lenses are beautifully polished and precisely installed. The only small disappointment was that Moscot introduced a complimentary mini travel case promotion just days after my purchase and couldn’t include my order, but overall I’m very satisfied with the quality and service."

— Serhan O. (5/5)

"Very good frame - elegant!"

— Frank (5/5)

Miltzen

"Love my new sapphire blue Miltzen frames! The sparkling color darkens just enough on my face to create a distinctive, sophisticated look without going overboard. For the first time, had Moscot create the lenses and both the quality and sharpness are superb. Very happy. /Users/BrianFlood_1/Desktop/FullSizeRender. jpeg"

Frequently asked questions

Absolutely.

The MILTZEN is designed to be worn from morning to night. Its lightweight acetate construction and balanced fit make it ideal for:

  • Work and office settings
  • Daily commuting
  • Casual and formal occasions

With compatibility across prescription and progressive lenses, it’s a frame that adapts to your day – wherever it takes you.

If you’re looking for:

  • A classic round eyeglass frame with heritage character
  • Compatibility with progressive or prescription lenses
  • Multiple size options for a more tailored fit
  • A timeless aesthetic that feels both vintage and modern

…then The MILTZEN is a natural choice.

Because some frames follow trends.

Others define them.

The MILTZEN’s perfectly rounded silhouette and signature keyhole bridge offer a balanced, comfortable fit that’s stood the test of time.

If you’re asking what is the best fit for me with The MILTZEN, here’s what to look for:

  • Your eyes should sit centered within each lens
  • The keyhole bridge should rest securely – no pinching, no slipping
  • The temples should sit comfortably behind your ears without pressure

The MILTZEN is available in three sizes:

  • 44, narrow fit
  • 46, average fit (and most popular)
  • 49, wider fit or a more statement look

Fit guide:

  • Smaller faces → 44
  • Most faces → 46
  • Wider faces or oversized preference → 49

A proper fit should feel natural – secure, balanced, and ready for all-day wear.

The MILTZEN’s round shape is a classic for a reason – it complements a wide range of face shapes while offering a distinct point of view.

It works particularly well for:

  • Square faces, softens angular features
  • Rectangular faces, adds balance and proportion
  • Oval faces, naturally harmonious

Its vintage-inspired silhouette brings a thoughtful, intellectual edge – rooted in MOSCOT’s archives and worn with ease today.

The MILTZEN isn’t just another round frame – it’s a piece of MOSCOT history.

Originally inspired by designs from the 1930s, it features:

  • Handcrafted Italian acetate construction
  • A signature keyhole bridge for comfort
  • Lightweight durability for everyday wear
  • A refined, heritage-driven silhouette

It’s a frame that blends old-world craftsmanship with modern lens technology – timeless by design, practical by nature.

Yes – The MILTZEN is built with optical performance in mind.

If you’re wondering can I get The MILTZEN with progressive/bifocal lenses, the answer is yes. The frame is available with progressive lenses, as well as single vision, reading, and non-prescription options. Progressive lenses provide seamless vision correction across distance, intermediate, and near – without visible lines.

While bifocals may not always be listed as a default online option, they can often be accommodated through custom lens configurations based on your prescription.

Because at MOSCOT, great frames are designed to do more than look good – they’re designed to work.

A great fit can always be fine-tuned – but it’s best done with care.

If you’re wondering how do I adjust The MILTZEN, we recommend visiting a MOSCOT Shop or an authorized retailer. Our trained opticians can make precise adjustments to the frame, ensuring comfort and alignment without compromising the integrity of the acetate.

Because when it comes to eyewear, small adjustments make a big difference – and the right hands make all the difference.

Keeping your frames clean ensures they look good – and perform even better.

If you’re asking what is the correct way to clean The MILTZEN, follow this routine:

  1. Rinse lenses with lukewarm water to remove debris
  2. Apply a small drop of mild, lotion-free dish soap
  3. Gently clean lenses and frame using your fingertips
  4. Rinse thoroughly
  5. Dry and polish with a clean microfiber cloth

Avoid:

  • Paper towels or tissues (they can scratch lenses)
  • Harsh chemicals like ammonia or alcohol
  • Cleaning lenses while dry

Proper care helps preserve lens clarity and keeps your acetate frame in top condition for years to come.
