Oberwerk 25x 40x 100mm Military Observation Binoculars w/ Tripod and Case

Our flagship product - the legendary Military Observation binocular, with 100mm semi-apochromatic triplet multi-coated objectives (that's about 4 inches across!). This is the very same binocular that was so favorably reviewed in the June 2000 issue of Sky & Telescope magazine. Rotating ocular turrets allow wide-angle viewing at 25x and high-power viewing at 40x. True giants, these are two feet in length and weigh over 26 lbs! Until recently, they were only available to the Chinese military. With this much light-gathering power, they are ideal for astronomy- 25x for wide-angle deep space observations and 40x for planetary observation and comet hunting. Apparent field of view is a very wide 67. The 25/40x100mm's are also fabulous for terrestrial applications. If you've got a home with a view, enjoy it to the utmost with this magnificent instrument. Comes complete with rock-solid wooden tripod, mount (which is also a removable table-top tripod), and military-style metal case.
