Noctivid reach. Pocket weight.
The Leica Noctivid Compact 10×25 delivers 10× magnification and 90 % light transmission in a 359 g body that goes everywhere. A 100 m field of view at 1,000 m, waterproof to 5 m — the detail-resolving power of a full binocular, without the weight of one.
Ten times closer. Still fits in a jacket pocket.
10× reach. Light transmission that doesn’t blink.
Higher magnification compresses the exit pupil — in lesser binoculars, that means dimmer images. Leica’s HDC® multilayer coatings and HighLux-System HLS® hold light transmission at 90 %, maintaining bright, high-contrast images even in overcast conditions or at dusk.
15.8 twilight factor, 90% transmission.
A twilight factor of 15.8 — high for a 25 mm compact — pairs with 90 % light transmission to keep detail and colour readable as the sun drops. Dawn and dusk are when birds and wildlife are most active, and that is exactly when the 10×25 keeps working. The view stays bright long after a lesser compact has gone flat.
10× power. Prisms that can keep up.
BAK4 roof prisms with Leica P40 phase-correction coating eliminate the interference fringing that becomes conspicuous at higher magnifications. Sharpness and colour accuracy hold firm across the entire field — edge to edge, at full 10× power.
The complete 100 m field. Without removing your glasses.
A 15 mm eye relief with twist-up rubber eyecups and two indexed click-stops means spectacle wearers access the full 100 m field of view — not a narrowed version of it.
German-built to handle the field. Small enough to always come along.
The Noctivid Compact 10×25 uses an aluminium chassis from Leica’s Solms facility — sealed against dust and moisture, finished in durable rubber armour for a secure grip in wet or cold conditions. At 110 × 112 × 40 mm and 359 g, it fits every daypack, most jacket pockets, and the overhead locker of any aircraft.
Safari, stadium, or sea cliff.
Ten times magnification in a body that goes in your pocket. The 10×25 is the binocular serious birdwatchers and travellers reach for when weight is non-negotiable.
Sealed for wherever the birds are.
Nitrogen-filled and waterproofed to 5 m depth. Rain, sea spray, condensation, and sub-zero temperatures cannot reach the optics. The 10×25 performs in the conditions that test binoculars the most.
2 m close focus. No target too near or too far.
A minimum focus distance of 2 m means the 10×25 resolves the detail of a dragonfly resting nearby and a distant shorebird a kilometre out — everything in between stays sharp.
Made in Germany. Every component counts.
Engineered and built in Germany, the Noctivid Compact 10×25 inherits the same optical philosophy and factory standards as every Leica instrument before it — a century of precision glass, precision mechanics, and nothing left to chance.
10× magnification. Zero excuses for leaving it at home.
At 110 × 112 × 40 mm and 359 g, the Noctivid Compact 10×25 puts full-range detail-resolving power into a body that disappears into any bag or pocket. The double-hinge collapses it flat in a second. It is the binocular that is always there, which means it is never the one you wished you had brought.
No hidden trade-offs. Everything a serious birdwatcher or traveller actually needs from a 10× compact.
10× magnification with a 100 m field of view at 1,000 m for clear detail at distance.
HDC® multilayer coatings and HighLux-System HLS® for 90 % light transmission.
P40 phase-correction coating on BAK4 roof prisms for sharp, accurate colour reproduction.
15 mm eye relief with two-click twist-up eyecups, comfortable for spectacle wearers.
Diopter adjustment ±4 dpt for precise individual eye compensation.
Waterproof to 5 m depth; nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging in all conditions.
Aluminium body with non-slip rubber armour; 110 × 112 × 40 mm, 359 g.
Minimum focus distance of 2 m. Interpupillary distance 37–84 mm. Launched April 2026.
Includes neoprene carrying strap, eyepiece cover, and Cordura case with belt loop.
Engineered and built in Germany. Available in rubber armour or leather finish.
Technical specifications.
A century of German glass. Distilled into 359 g.
The Noctivid Compact 10×25 carries the optical philosophy and manufacturing precision of every Leica instrument before it — resolving power, colour truth, and contrast fidelity that the Leica name has stood for since the first glass left Solms.
