Key Features

• Exceptional Light Transmission: Utilizes specially formulated SCHOTT HT (High Transmission) glass for the prisms, combined with a revolutionary high-temperature plasma coating process. This significantly increases light transmission, particularly in the blue-violet spectrum, resulting in brighter images, better color fidelity, and improved performance in twilight conditions .

• Superior Image Quality: High-quality lenses and a new baffle system work to minimize stray light and flare, ensuring excellent contrast, outstanding image sharpness, and rich, natural color rendition down to the finest details .

• Robust and Ergonomic Design: Features a lightweight yet durable die-cast magnesium housing with a titanium center hinge axle for long-lasting reliability . The housing is armored with a shock-absorbent rubber coating that provides a secure and comfortable grip, even in wet conditions .

• All-Weather Reliability: The binocular body is nitrogen-filled and sealed to be waterproof to a depth of 5 meters (16 feet), making it impervious to rain, splashes, and fogging in all environmental conditions .

• Advanced Lens Coatings: Features Leica's patented AquaDura® coating on external lens surfaces. This coating causes water to bead up and dirt to adhere less, making the lenses easy to clean and ensuring a clear, unobstructed view in any weather . All lens elements also benefit from HDC® multi-coating for abrasion resistance .

• Precision Focusing: The internal focusing mechanism is smooth and fast, requiring less than two full turns to focus from the minimum distance to infinity, allowing for quick and precise adjustments . The diopter correction is integrated into the focus wheel for easy adjustment .

• User-Friendly Eyepieces: The two-stage twist-out eyecups make them comfortable to use with or without eyeglasses, providing the correct eye relief for a full field of view .
