Oberwerk 25/40x100mm "Classic" Long Range Observation Binocular

This is the legendary 25/40x100 Long Range Observation Binocular, with 100mm semi-apochromat triplet objectives (each objective lens is 4" in diameter!). With the latest-technology broadband multi-coatings, it's an improved version of the high power giant binoculars that were so favorably reviewed in the June 2000 issue of Sky & Telescope magazine as well as the May 2003 issue of Astronomy magazine. Rotating ocular turrets allow wide-angle viewing at 25x and high-power viewing at 40x. Apparent field of view is a very wide 67°. True giants, these are two feet in length and weigh over 26 lbs! For decades, this Carl Zeiss-designed binocular was available only to the East German and Chinese militaries. Now the same factory is producing these long range high powered binoculars for Oberwerk Corporation for the civilian market. This is the ultimate optical instrument for terrestrial observation. If you've got a home with a view, enjoy it to the utmost with this magnificent instrument. This binocular is available in two styles- "Classic" and "Contemporary". The "Classic", in traditional pebble-grain black, has the look of a military antique. The "Classic" is also equipped with range-finding reticles. The "Contemporary" (25/40x100A) is finished in an automotive-quality champagne color, and has a modern high-tech appearance. Choose the style of long range binoculars that best matches your decor.
Oberwerk 25/40x100 Long-Range Observation binocular as featured on Entertainment TonightBefore Oberwerk formed a joint-venture with the factory, and became the exclusive USA importer, these very same high powered binoculars used to be featured in the famous Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog, for a whopping $3995! When you see the quality of construction, and the quality of the view that it offers, you'll understand why it could sell for such a high price. Comes complete with rock-solid wooden tripod and lightweight carrying case. The tripod can be upgraded to our premium jarrah hardwood tripod for $100. Either wood tripod can also be custom laser-engraved. If you want quick and easy height adjustment, order with the Bogen 475B tripod, which has a crank-up elevator.
