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 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?

• 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!
