In August 2018, these Ultravid compact binoculars underwent a redesign, featuring a slightly altered housing design and a new high-quality calf leather soft pouch in silver and black. Leica's compact Ultravid binoculars surpass their predecessors in brightness, sharpness, compactness, functionality, and durability. These "mini-binoculars" embody the true Ultravid-class, incorporating nearly all the Ultravid-elements that could be miniaturized. Despite their compact size, they offer exceptional performance and fit comfortably into almost any pocket. Utilizing aspherical lenses, these binoculars deliver sharp images with minimal color fringing, even at the edges. Their short close-up distance allows for a closer view of nearby objects. With robustness akin to their larger counterparts, the 25mm and 20mm binoculars are waterproof up to 5m (16.5ft) and nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging. The leather design adds a touch of classic elegance and ensures long-term durability. The package includes a woven carrying strap, eyepiece cover, and leather zip-pouch. This model replaces the previous 40263 version.
