They can't always get it right. Just my opinion.

As many will be aware Leica has a long offered a variety of finishes on, and limited editions of, many products.
For some examples on the full size Ultravids, see post #12 and on at: Leica Ultravid vs HD-Plus versions
And some more 'striking' leatherette examples include:

• the Royal Opera House Ultravid 8x20, and;
• the current custom options for cameras.

Think of the advantages though; you'd never lose it - and no one would steal it either!

I don't think I'll ever buy one of the lovely orange Swarovski (NL, Curio), but I really like them, I think their orange looks just gorgeous, and I've loved some colorful Leicas in the past, especially the red and blue versions of the BN, and also de green Ultravid BR, but I personally find the Retrovid (which design and performance I like very much) ludicrous. Maybe it's just that the picture doesn't do it justice, but when I first saw the image I thought it was a joke, that someone had been playing with Photoshop (poorly). Won't lose sleep over these

For those wishing to suitably complement their 8x40 LIFE:
Back in 2020, there was an equally eye watering version of the 8x20 Ultravid!
And as some may infer it’s the Supreme version.
It comprised 182 units, and was for sale by the eponymous US brand ( . . . how could I resist using the e-word 🤷♂️)

ibramr,
Thanks for the interesting pic. A friend of mine has the blue version and IIRC his is a 7x42. It would seem to be a good roof for marine use given the 7x42 format, fortress like construction, thick rubber armor and blue color which IMO is attractive. Beautiful view as well of course.
