LEICA ULTRAVID 8x32 HD-PLUS (Grey with Brown) (131005)

Built to the same exacting specifications as the standard models, the Leica 8x32 Ultravid HD-Plus Customized Binocular gets an elevated upgrade with calfskin leather wrap on the optical tubes, titanium-colored aluminum accents, and a calfskin leather carrying bag made specifically for this edition. This customized version presents an elegant and refined look while delivering the precision and performance that Leica is known for.

The optic delivers bright and clear high-contrast images across the entire field of view with true color rendition and virtually zero distortion. The smaller objectives reduce the overall size and weight for better portability and less muscle strain during long-duration viewing sessions, while still delivering competent low-light performance. The combination of the relative low 8x magnification and wide 62° apparent angle of view produces an immersive viewing experience that lends itself to long observation sessions or on-the-go glassing.

Leica employs specially formulated SCHOTT HT glass, which increases light transmission especially in the blue-violet light band, improves color fidelity, and enhances low-light performance. Scratch- and abrasion-resistant High Durable Coating (HDC) and hydrophobic AquaDura coating on the outer lenses protect surfaces and cause water and oil to bead off for easier cleaning and clearer vision. The roof prisms feature P40 phase correction and proprietary High Lux System (HLS) coatings. These coatings virtually eliminate chromatic aberration for enhanced color rendition and increased contrast.

Complementing the optical performance are uncompromising construction details. To reduce user fatigue during long glassing sessions, the chassis is made of a lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy, with a high-tensile titanium center hinge axle. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled for fogproof performance and sealed to make the binocular submersible to 16 feet. Ergonomic thumb indents on the bottom of the binocular coupled with protective rubber armoring provide a comfortable slip-resistant grip. A lubrication-free focus system provides fast and precise focusing, with PETP-Discs to provide smooth movement throughout the broad operating temperature range.

Use and Handling

• Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid platform for the internal focusing mechanism
• Lubricant-free center focus system with PETP-Discs provides smooth movement throughout the operating temperature range
• ±4 right-eye dioptric correction allows many users who normally wear corrective lenses to achieve the proper focus through the optic
• Locking center diopter adjustment wheel prevents accidental movement and ensures crisp focusing
• Twist-out four-stage click-stop eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
• Comfortable 13.3mm eye relief reduces eyestrain during long glassing sessions
• 4mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light
