What is the release about?
The 2023 MOSCOT Lemtosh S.E.A Edition was created as a regional limited edition version of the classic Lemtosh frame, designed with several unique features:
- Exclusive gold hardware detailing
- Special SEA engraving and numbering
- Asian-fit nose pads for improved comfort
Each frame is individually numbered, emphasizing its rarity and collectible value.
Highlights & Key Moments
Exclusive Gold Hardware Detailing
One of the most striking features of the S.E.A Edition is its gold accents.
Unlike the standard Lemtosh frames that feature silver hardware, this edition introduces elegant gold rivets, hinges and screws. These details instantly elevate the look of the frame, giving it a more luxurious and collectible feel.
Additionally, the rivets are designed with a more pronounced 3D structure, making them more visually distinctive while enhancing the overall craftsmanship of the frame.
SEA Stamping & Individual Numbering
Another defining highlight of the S.E.A Edition is the exclusive SEA branding.
Each frame features “Special Edition Asia” (SEA) stamping on the inner temple, along with a unique serial number ranging from 1 to 180.
This means every pair is part of a strictly limited production run, adding a sense of rarity and ownership pride.
For collectors, numbered frames often carry additional value because they represent a piece of MOSCOT history tied to a specific region and release year.
Asian-Fit Nose Pad Design
Perhaps the most meaningful upgrade in the S.E.A Edition is its Asian-fit design.
The frame features raised acetate nose pads, specifically designed to better accommodate Asian facial structures.
For many customers, the standard Lemtosh bridge can sometimes feel too wide or sit too low on the nose. Traditionally, opticians may modify the frame by adding custom nose pads or reshaping the acetate.
However, some customers prefer not to modify their frames because they want to maintain the originality of the design.
Standout Products & Innovations
The MOSCOT Lemtosh S.E.A Edition stands out in several ways when compared to the standard Lemtosh model.
Improved Fit for Asian Faces
One of the biggest advantages of this edition is the better bridge fit. Customers who previously found the Lemtosh bridge too wide may find this version significantly more comfortable.
Because the nose pads are integrated into the frame design, the result feels more natural and balanced.
This is especially beneficial for:
- Customers with lower nose bridges
- Those who previously required nose pad modifications
- Wearers seeking a more stable frame position
Enhanced Frame Details
The gold rivets and hardware provide a noticeable upgrade in both aesthetics and tactile quality.
The 3D rivet design also gives the frame a stronger visual identity, making it instantly recognizable as a special edition piece rather than a standard Lemtosh.
These design changes create a frame that feels more exclusive and premium, while still maintaining the timeless Lemtosh silhouette.
Benefits to Malaya Optical Customers

This means customers can experience and purchase this limited edition frame locally, without needing to travel to other countries or rely on uncertain overseas sourcing.
Better Fit Without Modifications
Many customers love the design of the Lemtosh but struggle with the bridge fit.
Previously, some customers required acetate nose pad modifications, which could alter the original structure of the frame.
With the S.E.A Edition, customers can now enjoy an improved Asian fit directly from the manufacturer, preserving the originality of the frame design.
Personal Reflections & Customer Stories
Over the years, many customers who love the MOSCOT Lemtosh have shared a similar concern.
While they appreciate the timeless design, some hesitate to modify the frame because they feel that altering the original acetate nose pads reduces the authenticity of the piece.
For collectors especially, maintaining the original structure of a frame is very important.
The S.E.A Edition addresses this concern beautifully. Customers can now enjoy a better fit while preserving the frame exactly as it was designed by MOSCOT.
We have also noticed that customers who previously struggled with the standard bridge often feel surprised at how comfortable this version is.
