Description
They are brighter, sharper, more compact, more functional and robust than previous binoculars of this lens size.
There is no question that these compacts are true Ultravid-class. Almost all the Ultravid-elements that the developers could miniaturize found there way into these "mini-binoculars" which fit comfortably into almost any pocket.
The use of aspherical lenses offers the observer a sharp image right to the edge without color fringing and because of the short close-up distance these little Ultravids bring close up things even closer.
The 25mm and 20mm BR binoculars live up to the name "Ultravid" in the case robustness too: because a new developed vulcanization method ensures that the rubber armoring is inseparable from the metal housing even in the harshest conditions. Their robustness is further evidenced by being guaranteed watertight up to 5 m (16.5ft)and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging. They also come with high quality accessories.
The Ultravid BR series come in shock-absorbing black rubber coating but also available is the Ultravid BL series in a noble black leather. This leather design gives the binoculars a classic elegance and guarantees a long life.
Includes a woven carrying strap, eyepiece cover, Cordura case with belt loop.
The essentials:
- Unsurpassed compact
- Versatile in its application possibilities: 8x magnification for the best detailed recognition on the shortest distances (1.8 m close range) and excellent overview in the distance
- Size: 111 x 93 x 39 mm
- Rubber-armored BR variant

Pin-Sharp Performer
The Reference Standard
The Leica Ultravid BR binoculars stand for an extremely high level of optical and mechanical performance. They are brighter, sharper and more compact than many other binoculars in this lens diameter.
A Sharp Solution
The elements of the larger Ultravids have been reduced to fit these compact binoculars. Thus, they offer the same resolution and sharpness and let you enjoy a wide, detailed view without colour fringing.
Gather The Light
The Leica Ultravid BR models offer outstanding suppression of stray light. They grant crystal-clear viewing, allowing you to detect even the faintest objects.

The best compact binoculars in terms of:
- Durability - these are likely to work when you need them most.
- Contrast and clarity - on a well lighted scene (daytime, concert or sport activities) the detail and clarity revealed compared well against much larger binoculars.
- Field of view - while mini binoculars cannot equal larger models in area they can show, these minis provided a comfortable field of view.
- If the first goal of a mini binocular is portability, then nothing else of this quality can rivalLeica Ultravid BR 8x 20 Compact in how compact and lightweight they are.
