$5500 (U.S.) for pocket binoculars? Is it even a Leitz? (1 Viewer)

What is this guy selling? An off-brand called Hermes in the Pocket, as stated in the title? Or a Leitz Trinovid, as shown in the photos?

Hi MUSA,

Very likely so. It seems to be a colour variation on:

And Leica also partnered with Hermes on an 8x32 model:


See post #13 at: Leica Ultravid vs HD-Plus versions
It also shows some other dressed up Leica's.

Leica has made several models tided in with the Hermès fashion brand.

Got it. I'll stick with buying used (<$100) Bushnells, B&Ls, and Swifts!

I am not a fan of the color....I enjoy dark green or black for my colors. I see the same thing from leica in colors for cameras...they come out with some of the oddest colors. Oh well, to each their own...

To OP:

But think of all the non-binocular toting friends you could impress. After you point out the tiny visual clues that differentiate your $5500 Hermies from a run-of-the-mill set of binoculars.

Well at least the postage is reasonable.
I'd want it coming on a private jet for $225

It's a leather covered Ultravid. You can see the name in one of the pictures.
