Rare World War Two German 25×100 Zeiss (SOMET) big eye binoculars.

Vintage and Binoculars is pleased to present  a giant pair of WW2 German military Zeiss (Somet)  25×100 (25 power magnification and 100 mm objective lenses) big eye binoculars. These are incredibly rare, Zeiss archive photos show this model used to monitor the trajectories for the V-1 and V-2 Rocket program. They were the logical development from the tried and tested Zeiss 12×60 and have many all of their excellent design features. They were produced  in 1944-1945 in limited numbers.

Optically they are exceptionally clear, they have been polished by our team of professionals and fully serviced. Very easy to use with the comfortable fully adjustable  oculars. They are mounted on an original ww2 cradle and metal stand which has the war time code clk from the highly respectable F W Breithaupt & Sohne Fabrik Geogatisher Instrumente, Kassel,Germany.

The Somet stamp on the box is a post war addition when it became clear that binoculars of this quality had a place in post war Germany.

They measure approx 9″ wide x 19 1/2″ long, and weigh 19 lbs. These are a truly impressive set of big eye binoculars. Spectacular magnification on a highly versatile beautifully designed set of binoculars

Here at Aviation and Binoculars we pride ourselves on having one of the widest selection of historically interesting, functional optics available to purchase. Check out the full range of big eye binoculars including the Japanese Fuji Meibo 25×150 and a beautiful Zeiss circa 1917 Telescope.
