Big Eyes

These are the heavy-weight behemoths. They are found on large mounts and massive naval vessels. These gigantic instruments have been used for long-range observation since the late 19th century. Produced by manufacturers from around the world, these great binoculars, with their enormous lenses, are sought after for their long-range and immense magnification.

Many use the ‘Big Eyes’ for astronomy for they are fantastic in low-light scenarios. Though not for casual use due to their sheer weight and size, they do find their way into many homes for this purpose.

In generations passed, the military used these to gain an advantage in the field of battle. Be it on sea to look for would-be intruders or on land used with flak cannons. There is a long history behind these giant-looking glasses and with history comes time. As we know, time means wear and tear. The adhesive within the optics deteriorate, prisms go out of alignment and there may be damage to the body.

One of our specialties is the ‘Big Eye’. It’s a favorite around here and we will clean, collimate and restore these back to their former glory. We have worked on many of these massive binoculars over the years. Some weighing well over 100 lbs.! From obscure French, rotating triple magnification binoculars made in the late 1900s or WWII era pieces to more current monster binos, we work on all of them.

Whether you simply want your piece to be functional again or are looking for a complete overhaul, we have you covered and we will give these giants of yours the royal treatment. Let us bring life back into your ‘Big Eye’ binoculars.
