Definitely a contender.I like the simple, elegant classic looks of the Leica Trinovid BA. I think it is one of the best looking and toughest binoculars around. The ribs on the armour keep your fingers from sweating and it is comfortable in the hand.
I don't care in the slightest how 'good looking' binoculars might be just that they're ergonomically designed, good to use and optically superb - aesthetics come a very long way behind.

I noticed when I used the Trinovid BN my hands didn't sweat as much and I thought about it and I realized it was because the little channels in the BN's armour helps ventilate your hands because it allows air to move around under your hands. The armour on the BN's is also harder than most binoculars so it naturally doesn't cause your hands to sweat as much as some of the softer more pliable armour as commonly used on other binoculars plus it is very durable. The Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B uses a similar type of harder armour with grooves in it also for ventilation and also for a better grip.Dennis, that is a truly refined choice. The texturing on the rubber preventing the pooling of sweat is something I did not know. I learn something new every day on here, I swear.
I like the red. You don't commonly see them. Very racy. It looks like a Ferrari Enzo. Same red with black.Hello,
I am not certain if this Leica in eye catching red is beautiful or naff. The armor is irreplaceable.
Stay safe
