Levenhuk binoculars Heritage BASE 12x45 RETRO
The Levenhuk Heritage BASE 8x30 binoculars feature a rugged metal construction. With a wide field of view and 8x magnification, this model is perfect for long-range field observation – no detail on the horizon will escape your sight.
These binoculars were created as part of a joint project between Levenhuk and the Russian Kazan Optical-Mechanical Plant. Founded in 1940, this factory has been manufacturing optical observation instruments for over 70 years — first for the Soviet Army and later for the Russian Army. Russian optical glass has been recognized worldwide among soldiers and hunters since the Soviet era.
The shockproof aluminum housing reliably protects the lenses from vibration, impact, and accidental drops. All joints are sealed with a special compound that shields the optical system from dust and moisture. These binoculars withstand extreme temperature changes, operating between –40°C and +50°C — there are few comparable optical instruments in the world that can rival Russian optics in durability and resilience under such conditions.
This optical device offers fast and precise focusing via a large central focusing wheel. The right eyepiece features a diopter adjustment ring. The set also includes a protective case and eyepiece covers for convenient storage and transport.
