New: One for the ladies! Eschenbach club-W 8x25B roof prism binocular. Eschenbach optical quality and uniquely elegant feminine styling.

Historically we've stayed away from optical products directed solely at female users because we felt the designs were weak - stressing looks at the expense performance. What's the point of a binocular that looks easy on the eye in appearance but then lets you down when you use it?

The Eschenbach club-W sets a new standard in sophisticated elegance with uncompromising optical quality, easy on the eye and designed with women in mind. These stylish binoculars won't look out of place at Ascot, Wimbledon or out on a country walk. Housed in the stunning mother-of-pearl effect body are state of the art optics guaranteed to please the most discerning user. Supplied with a stylish carrying case, padded strap and draw string pouch for protection when carried in a hand bag.

SnS comment: The club-s takes the design concept of the woman's binocular seriously, offering a timeless elegance in colour and form. The softly rounded body just feels special in the hand and the bold colour co-ordinated trim adds just a hint of vivacity without being overly strident. If ever a binocular had genuinely feminine sex appeal it's this one. So far so good - we love the look, but what about the look through?. Well, with the name Eschenbach on the top we had high hopes - and we were not disappointed. The binocular is stunning, everything you would expect from a top of the line 8x25. The phase coated prisms deliver sharp high contrast images, the focussing is slick and smooth - we just can't recommend this stunning binocular too highly. Full waterproofing and nitrogen filling (anti fogging) as well as a close focus point of just 1.5m (under 5 feet) mark the club-w out as a top specification binocular regardless of looks.

Supplied with elegant white purse style pouch and mini swing bag pouch storage case and cord. Click lowermost picture for additional detail of full presentation package.
