Leica Trinovid - Edition - 8x20 BC Binocular

Leica TRINOVID 8x20 Special Edition.

For the special edition binocular, Leica decided to manufacture it of brass polished to a high gloss and specially protected against oxidation and scratches. The brass was used for the fabrication of all the parts that are made of aluminium in the standard 8x20 BC and BCA versions. The brass parts are machined from solid brass in the traditional manner and then meticulously polished by hand. The classic raw material, brass, is now further enhanced with a durable high-tech coating.

This TRINOVID 8x20 is then covered with genuine calf leather with a lizard texture. An additional elegant touch is the fact that the same leather is used for the carrying case that is supplied with the binocular; a sewn-on belt loop allows it to be worn on a belt.

With the introduction of his revolutionary Orthoscopic eyepiece for telescopes in 1849, Karl Kellner set the corner stone of the tradition-steeped Leica brand. Leica created a bridge into the new millennium with the announcement of this exquisite binocular.

This special edition of the LEICA TRINOVID 8x20 BC production has been limited to 1999 pieces.
