The Ultravid Compact Colorline builds on the acclaimed performance of the Leica Ultravid series, delivering the same high-quality optics in a bold, fashionable package. The lightweight construction ensures ease of use, while the precision-engineered lenses provide bright, high-contrast images even in low-light conditions. Leica’s AquaDura coating on the outer lenses repels water and dirt, maintaining a consistently clear view.

Designed for portability, the new Ultravid Compact Colorline binoculars fit easily into pockets or small bags, making them the perfect companion for travelers who need high-performance optics without the bulk. Their robust aluminum construction ensures durability, while a smooth-focusing wheel allows for precise adjustments. The ergonomic shape also ensures a comfortable grip, even during prolonged use.
