Luxxoptica’s Starmorbi is an incredibly rare, exquisitely designed set of big eye binoculars which evolved from a remarkable telescope known as the Starmore, designed by Carl Zeiss in 1910. The Starmore telescope’s groundbreaking design featured a unique rotating eye-piece which allowed the user to shift effortlessly between different levels of magnification.
The dawn of the 20th century brought significant advancements in binocular technology, particularly for military applications, and it was during this time that the Starmore telescope evolved into the Starmorbi. With magnification strengths of 12x, 20x, and 40x and ease of adjustment for the user, the Starmorbi was perfect for observing, even in low-light conditions.
The Starmorbi, with its exquisite design and excellent optics enjoyed tremendous commercial success, forever left its mark on the world of optics, and remains a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its time.
We offer you this one of a kind antique, accompanied by a sturdy teak wood tripod and a custom adaptor.
