Nothing demonstrates what is technically possible today quite as well as the flagship products of the Ultravid class. The housing and centershaft of the 50 mm, 42 mm, and 32 mm models are made of ultra-lightweight, yet extremely durable, magnesium and titanium. Two lightweight exterior finishes are available: soft-touch rubber armoring or elegant leather. The use of these ultra-light materials, coupled with perfectly aligned components, guarantees long-term durability at minimal weight. The thumb rests of the 50 mm and 42 mm models and the sliding eyecups with two click stops of all Ultravid models ensure a comfortable viewing experience. Their soft, cushioning rubber element allows for a comfortable positioning of the eye, and due to the click stops they can be individually set for the perfect eye relief. The strength of the Ultravid class is due, in large part, to its high image quality. The Leica HighLux-System HLS™ makes that possible.

These and other technical advances make it obvious that the Ultravid class is the new reference class in binoculars.

The leather covered 42 mm BL models are particularly elegant, are reminiscent of the classic binoculars and cameras that made Leica famous. Due to the leather covering, they weigh less than 700 g.
