‘Made in Russia’ lenses
The Levenhuk Heritage BASE 12x45 binoculars are the result of a collaboration between Levenhuk and the Russian manufacturer Kazan Optical-Mechanical Plant. This company has been supplying optical observation instruments for over 70 years, since 1940, initially serving the Soviet Armed Forces and subsequently the Russian Army. Russian glass, designed to military standards, has been prized worldwide since the days of the Soviet Union. The Levenhuk Heritage BASE 12x45 binoculars make it accessible to everyone.
Metal body
The optical elements are protected by a robust aluminium body, which shields the lenses from vibrations, accidental knocks and jolts. The body is effectively protected from dust and moisture thanks to a special substance that seals all the joints. These binoculars perform reliably in extreme conditions: the desert, snow-capped mountain peaks or the tropics.
Additional features
A focus wheel is positioned in the centre and the right-hand eyepiece features a dioptre adjustment ring. The eyecups are made of rubber. The kit includes a protective case made of synthetic leather and a shoulder strap.
