Seeing double

The sleek lines of an Italian automotive atelier meet the signature craftsmanship of Leica in the Ultravid 8x32 ‘Edition Zagato’. These binoculars feature an outer shell of aluminium, reflecting the sports car spirit of the Zagato Atelier and Total Design Centre in Milan and its early adoption of lightweight aviation technology, with two vibrant red anodised rings circling the front lenses. The aluminium has been scored with hundreds of fine grooves, lending an unprecedented haptic sensation to Leica’s signature sport optics. With a limited edition of just 1000, the binoculars also feature a case designed by the collectible car manufacturer, as well as matching straps rendered in genuine Italian leather. RRP €3450
