Probably because they are unknown in general. Williams Optics is known for it's Telescopes, not it's binoculars.

I've never seen or used them, but I googled them and the photos are silly IMO. Garish comes to mind, and I'm surprised Ferrari lent it's name to such a product. It's cheesy and dilutes the brand.

the bright red with shining surface does not help much for birding. It looks good though. The price is steep for a 10x25. That makes you wonder how much of that is because of the licensing fee from Ferrari.

Yes....but.....just wondered.....if Ferrari lent it's name on a product, logically that product MUST be a good product.... Don't you think ?? :)

Like Mercedes/Porsche's sunglasses/watches....it's unlikely not to be (at least) quiet good or even excellent products...

But that's just my thoughts.. :)

Cheers ^^

Hi Galih

The latest models show multi and phase coating so at least they are headed the right way
I imagine these are Ferrari's version of a Chinese better quality compact
Sometimes they seem to sell for a reasonable amount on auction sites and other times are passed by
