Description
The Cold War era Zeiss periscope binoculars stand as a monumental achievement in optical engineering, a shining example of the technological prowess and meticulous craftsmanship that Carl Zeiss is renowned for. These instruments, with their exquisitely engineered internal gearing, allowed for both micro and macro level adjustments. This precise control enabled observers to have an unobstructed and detailed view over the Berlin Wall during the Cold War, making them indispensable tools in espionage and surveillance.
Boasting a formidable 10x magnification and a generous 50mm objective lens aperture, these binoculars provided unparalleled clarity and breadth of vision. Such specifications ensured that even the most minute details could be observed from a safe distance, an essential capability during the tense years of the Cold War.
The engineering skill of Carl Zeiss is manifest in every aspect of these periscopes, from their sophisticated internal mechanisms to their robust and sleek design. The body, crafted from polished aluminum, not only imparts a timeless elegance but also assures durability and longevity. This combination of form and function speaks to the legacy of Zeiss as a pioneer in optical technology.
Active on the front lines of history, these periscopes were in use on the Berlin Wall until its momentous fall in 1989. They are not just tools of observation; they are witnesses to history, having played a critical role in one of the 20th century's most defining periods.
Today, these Zeiss periscope binoculars are not only coveted for their historical significance but also for their exceptional optical performance. They remain a testament to the unparalleled engineering and design capabilities of Carl Zeiss, offering collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to own a piece of Cold War history. These periscopes are more than mere instruments; they are a tribute to the relentless pursuit of precision and excellence that defines the Zeiss legacy. Reasonable offers for these masterpieces of engineering and history are entertained, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a true icon of optical innovation.

I purchased this for my husband’s 50th birthday. He is very interested in WWII history and always wanted a set. We live on the Mississippi River valley, so these binoculars will make eagle watching so much more enjoyable.
Company was great! Delivery came quickly and the product quality is top notch in every way. The piece is absolutely beautiful. It is perfect for our beach front condo. We love it!!!
We love our new binoculars! They add an elevated level of detail to our home. The “Bigeye” 15 x 80 gives us a new dimension to our balcony view! Packed and shipped in a display worthy wooden box, they were definitely worth the price!
Amazing vision in a super stylish piece of art!
Excellent experience all around from ordering, to product, to shipping questions and tracking, to accessories. Will certainly be buying again!
great -- super happy
Awesome product and buyer experience.
Old world craftsmanship with New World Experience. The detail work is superb. The optics are great and the overall look is perfect. Would recommend. Luxx OPTICA to anyone Looking for a showpiece and functional optics.
Very nice binoculars. Only reason for four stars, not five, is the height adjustment on the tripod stand is a bit difficult and required two persons to adjust.

"Asahi" - 15x80mm Bigeye Binoculars
Store owner replied: Thanks Michael, we are glad you like them! Happy holidays!
Everything arrived in perfect shape. Really happy with the purchase.
Saw these at the boat show. Beautiful works of art
Great looking
When I seen online the Midway binoculars I thought that they couldn't be as nice or the quality be as high as they looked. I was pleasantly surprised that the two pairs I purchased exceeded my expectations by a mile. My wife and I can't stop looking through them and being amazed at what we see far out in the ocean.
One of the best purchases I’ve made. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the binaculars.
Love it!
Enjoying my Asahi binoculars! Great views and nice piece of art in the living room
Happened upon your product at the Norwalk Boat Show . The quality and workmanship made it a must have . Heirloom !
Our ASAHI just arrived and we set up right away! Set up was very straightforward. Looks incredible! Great shots of Naragansett Bay.
Just invested in my second set-The Yamato. It's beyond beautiful, adding a luxurious look to the family room. Everyone enjoys looking at boats as they drive past the home. Total quality, my daughter has already claimed the first pair I bought last year after my demise.
Ordered the Asahi 15x80 at the Chicago Boat Show. Received the unit a few days later. Setup was easy. The view through them is fantastic.
I have seen these fantastic binoculars in W Palm Beach. And have always admired them. My wife and I saw them displayed at the Lake Tahoe wooden boat concourse and immediately knew we had the perfect place for them in our Lake Tahoe home. Michel Colombo demoed them for us on Saturday and we have the binoculars on Tuesday! Outstanding service! Easy set up. Beautiful, clear optics. Looks wonderful in our home. Thanks you Luxx Optica!

Very pleased with our purchase! Great service from start to finish with Sean. Looking forward to using this in our home with our family.
Really good-looking and functional! Beautifully packaged, easy to assemble and use.
Such a great product, this is my second pair.
These gorgeous binoculars really up-level the look of your house! We are already planning where to set up our next pair.
I set up my Yamato's and couldn't be happier. They've taken our room to a new level. They're not a conversation piece, they're the centerpiece! My family uses them constantly. They bring both style and functionality. Highly recommend, you won't regret it.
No Surprise here. Exactly what I expected. Beautiful piece of functionality. Adds nautical elegance.
Luxxoptica is First Class and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. Our family trades off views of the manatees and bottlenose dolphins that frequent the bay from the 3rd floor balcony of our home in the Florida Keys. Thank you for the work you’ve put into such a beautiful and functional work of art.
I just received and set up my new Asahi binoculars - they are stunning to look at and amazing to look through! Mike has been so helpful and responsive to all of my questions. Quality team and impressive product. So glad I found Luxx Optica!
The product/binoculars are second to none! They are top of the line and will totally transform a room and will be the conversation focal point at any event. I will enjoy these for many years to come and will be overjoyed to pass these along to my children one day. These binoculars will be a family heirloom! Thanks so much!
The Asahi binoculars are not only the highest quality binoculars I've ever tried, they are stunning. We've turned them into the focal point of our St. Pete Condo. History meets Art with perfection on every level. Thank you Mike -
These are an amazing piece of art. We live in an absolutely dark area and can take advantage of incredible star gazing.
I bought an Asahi last year for my office in Newport Beach, and I couldn't be happier. The quality of the lenses and the craftsmanship are top notch. If you are on the fence, buy them, you will not be disappointed.
I have been observing these for many years at various shows and knew at some point in my life I would have a house that was well suited for them. My home in the keys is perfectly positioned to look out over Sombrero Reef lighthouse. The perfect balance between form and function.
Beautiful functional art that will be displayed in our home and any future residence. The binoculars, stand and the shipping crate are all quality pieces that will be passed down to future generations.
