Description
Elegant Zenith 12x50 binoculars of Japanese production, accompanied by its original brown faux-leather case with burgundy velvet interior.
The model features treated optics ("Coated Optics") and 12x magnification with a 5° field of view, characteristics that made it particularly valued for naturalistic and landscape observation. On the body are inscribed the markings “Zenith”, “Light Weight” and the serial number S27-662 No. 219151.
The aesthetic of the 1960s/1970s, combined with the presence of the original case, gives this specimen notable collectible and decorative interest. The adjustment rings are present and the binocular maintains good overall integrity.
