Why Do I NEED One of These Giant Binoculars or Binocular Telescopes?

Got a view?

Oberwerk binoculars offer a much better value than a brass telescope Does your home or office have a fabulous view? Oceanfront, lakefront, hillside, mountain, and penthouse properties, as well as upper-level high-rise offices- all of these offer views that are greatly enhanced with a high-quality optical instrument. Think about what you paid for your view. The cost to get even more enjoyment from that view is comparatively miniscule, yet all too often, people choose a decorative brass telescope. The problem with this choice is that the typical brass telescope is meant to be looked at- not through. Most do not have high-quality optics (in fact they typically have very poor optical performance). Even if the optics were of excellent quality, one 2" or 3" objective simply cannot compare to two 4" objectives. For less than the cost of that brass telescope, you could own one of the highest-quality giant binoculars available. Optical superiority aside, we think the Oberwerk Long-Range Observation Binoculars and Binocular Telescopes, with their military heritage, over-engineered construction, and extra-sturdy hardwood tripods, are better-looking and certainly more interesting than a brass telescope. While most brass telescopes just collect dust, owners of these binoculars will never tire of the spectacular 3-D views that they deliver. If you're like most of our customers, you'll use yours every day.

What can I expect to see through these high powered binoculars?

  • You can read a car license plate at two miles away (under ideal conditions).
  • You can clearly see boats at sea that are not at all visible to the naked eye- sometimes so clearly that you can read the name on the ship (again, under ideal conditions).
  • You can see Saturn's rings, cloud belts on Jupiter (and 4 of it's moons), and get great views of the craters on our own moon.
  • One of our customers in California reported that while he was viewing down the coastline from his home, he recognized friends of his walking into a restaurant- which was 3.5 miles away.
  • A customer said they could count the lights on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge (which connects Brooklyn to Staten Island)- from their New Jersey home 45 miles away!

Why buy an Oberwerk?

Simple- there are no competitors to Oberwerk in this price range. Giant binoculars of this size are definitely a niche product, and there are not a lot of choices. Oberwerk 25/40x100 Long-Range Observation binocular in home with a view Of course there are plenty of less-capable observation binoculars that sell for less, but there simply are none better than the Oberwerk premium models for less than double their price (including the mount/tripod). Consider also that since 1999, Oberwerk has been well-known among the amateur astronomy community for high-quality products at low prices, and with exceptional customer service. Binocular astronomy is considerably more demanding of optical quality than daytime terrestrial observing. Because of this, every Oberwerk binocular is tested and tuned to perform well for binocular astronomy. This means you are assured of receiving a perfectly adjusted and well-collimated instrument, even if your long range binoculars will not be used on the night sky (however, we highly recommend that you give this a try).

Anything else I should know?

Yes- there's a reason we named our store "GiantBinoculars.com". The 100mm high powered binoculars are 2 feet long and weigh 28 lbs. The objective lenses are 4" in diameter, and of course there are two of them. The wood tripod will require about 36" of floor space (a little less if you put two of the tripod feet against the window-wall). So be aware that these are quite large, but keep in mind that only an instrument of this size can produce such spectacular high-power views. But if these are simply too large, or if you also need a binocular that can be hand-held, Oberwerk does offer a wide range of binoculars in all different sizes.
