    Brighter

    Deep into the night

    The revolutionary light transmission of 95% and more enables hunting deep into the night. This unique experience is the result of an innovative optical design. It is the combination of extremely transparent SCHOTT HT high transmission lens elements and the enhanced ZEISS T* multi-coating. This enables the ZEISS VICTORY HT products to set a new global standard for premium riflescopes. The bright, high-contrast images provide you with the extra few minutes you need on a hunt. After all, it is often the first or last light of the day that is vital for those magic hunting moments that will always remain in your memory.

    More Elegant

    Design based on tradition

    The design of the ZEISS Dialyt® in 1962 made binoculars immortal. The ZEISS VICTORY HT is now following in the footsteps of this ZEISS classic – with further exciting enhancements. It is a design revolution born of tradition.

    More Ergonomic

    Form follows intuition

    The design of the ZEISS VICTORY HT line is based fully on intuitive and reliable operation. On binoculars, the convenient position of the focus wheel ensures ease of use and fatiguefree focusing. It is conspicuously large and easy to reach in the bridge. This allows you to conveniently operate the focusing wheel – even while wearing gloves. Furthermore, the low weight of these binoculars transforms the 8 and 10x54 into a new class of night hunting binoculars.

    More Precise

    Perfection at all distances

    With their Comfort Focus concept, ZEISS VICTORY HT binoculars provide maximum precision while focusing. The conspicuously large focusing wheel and extra long translation enable you to focus with extreme precision to obtain the perfect focus.

    Clearer

    LotuTec®

    Enjoy fascinating image quality whatever the weather. The LotuTec® coating ensures that water simply rolls off the lenses and dirt can be removed without a trace.

  • Reliability

    Tested in the laboratory. Proven in nature.

    Hunting optics are not a scientific instrument but tools which must function in every hunting scenario. If there is heavy rain when you are hunting, there is only one motto to go by: Persevere! The waterproofness of your optics should be the last thing on your mind.

    Shock

    Laboratory
    Nature

    Shock test with up to 1,500 times

    1,500 g corresponds to the shooting load of the .460 Weatherby Magnum calibre.

    Precision in the face of stress

    When you’re out hunting, the optics are exposed to extreme forces whenever shots are fired with the variety of different calibres and weapons often fall over - ZEISS optics confidently brave all this and more during every hunting trip*.

    *A test shot is recommended after unintentional blows or shocks to the target optics.

    Waterproofness

    Laboratory
    Nature

    Waterproofing immersion test

    Our tests simulate continuous rain and complete immersion of the optics in water, ensuring that all ZEISS optics are fully waterproof.

    Washed with all waters

    Hours of waiting in the unrelenting pouring rain when out driven hunting, or the necessary cleaning of the optics with a water bottle – ZEISS hunting optics are built to be used and remain waterproof even when things get rough.

    Continuous Shock

    Laboratory
    Nature

    Continuous shocks for 90 minutes

    Even after one and a half hours of continuous vibration in different directions, the group of the optics remains unchanged.

    Tenaciously mobile

    Driving along bumpy forest and country lanes with the gun in the boot or navigating rough terrain on foot – bumps and shocks are a normal part of hunting. So it’s all the better if the optics are prepared*.

    *After unintended bumps or shocks to the riflescope, a test shot is recommended.

    Temperature

    Laboratory
    Nature

    Temperature shock

    Deep freezing to -40°C and temperature shocks from -25° to 50°C in under 5 minutes. In the climatic chamber, ZEISS optics are tested to the material´s limits.

    From the Sahara to the Arctic

    From the heat of the hut to the bitter cold of the outdoors, or hours in the blazing sun – ZEISS hunting optics operate reliably in extreme climatic conditions.

    Corrosion

    Laboratory
    Nature

    24 hours in salt spray

    Side by side with metal test strips, ZEISS optics were stored in an aggressive salt water spray for 24 hours. While the test strips were covered in rust, the optics were entirely unfazed.

    Hard shell, hard core

    When you go hunting, your optics are often exposed to aggressive liquids such as hand sweat and cosmetics. But thanks to a high-quality seal, these don’t stand a chance against ZEISS optics.

    Comfort carrying strap from ZEISS

    Binoculars are one of the most important parts of a hunter's equipment. Whether you are targeting game from a high vantage point, on a hunting trip or stalking game, having your binoculars within easy reach is essential for hunting success. The new binoculars comfort carrying strap from ZEISS ensures that your binoculars are always exactly where you need them: around your neck and on your chest. Its special features include easy, practical fixation of the binoculars and outstanding wearing comfort. Compared to simple carrying straps, the new strap from ZEISS allows you to carry your binoculars in total comfort. It is made of high-quality materials and feels pleasant on your skin. The high-quality workmanship prevents neck strain and distributes the weight of the binoculars over your upper body. The binoculars remain steady and do not swing in various directions when you are moving about. The strap length can be adjusted to meet the need of a wide range of applications. The binoculars are connected by feeding a strap through the brace eyelet. This type of connection is particularly quiet and prevents damage to the binoculars. Quick-release fasteners allow you to attach and detach the carrying strap extremely fast. For added convenience: the ends remaining on the binoculars can be connected to form a strap, allowing you to hold the binoculars more securely, also when you are not carrying them around your neck.

  • Questions & Answers

    Questions & Answers

    • How much brighter are the VICTORY HT binoculars compared to the CONQUEST HD binoculars and can I really see the difference?

      Some 30 years after ZEISS broke through the 90% transmission threshold in the design of its binoculars and riflescopes, its new optical concept, combined with the innovative high transmission (HT) lenses from SCHOTT have now achieved unrivalled transmission values of up to 95% and more – which is around 3-10% better than the nearest rival. The difference to the existing CONQUEST HD range is just a few percentage points in terms of transmission, but is clearly visible in the final, critical moments of light.

    • Why do the VICTORY HT binoculars only come with a 54x lens?

      Heavy binoculars for sitting game are a thing of the past. With the VICTORY HT binoculars, ZEISS intentionally avoided a 56 mm lens diameter to make it as compact and lightweight as the all-rounders in the size 50 class, yet still the top premium binoculars regarding transmission. Unlike comparable 56x binoculars, these weigh 20% less.

    • What is the difference between FL, HD, HT and ED?

      ED = Extra low Dispersion = low chromatic aberrations

      HD = High Definition. HD is not a type of lens. Instead it describes the result of the ED lenses: very good resolution

      FL = Fluoride Lenses; a special, high-quality sub-category of the ED lenses

      HT = High Transmission = lenses by SCHOTT with very good transmission properties.

      We use HT in the sense of a complete HT concept: binoculars that are based on the FL binoculars but which have extremely high levels of light transmission. VICTORY HT binoculars also have FL and HT lenses. VICTORY HT riflescopes do not have FL lenses.

    • What do the abbreviations mean?

      Meaning of the abbreviations

      FL
      Binoculars or spotting scopes with glasses that contain fluoride (FL) for sharper, higher contrast images with significantly reduced chromatic aberrations; Fluoride Lenses; a special, high-quality sub-category of the ED lenses

      GA

      T*
      ZEISS T* multi-layer coating for extremely high transmission and low reflex susceptibility

      MC
      ZEISS multi-layer coating (multi coating)

      P / P*   
      Phase correction coating on the roof prisms, which provide a higher resolution of the finest detail structures. All ZEISS binoculars with roof prisms use this coating

      B
      Previously used to designate binoculars that can be worn by people who wear glasses.
      Now all ZEISS binoculars and spotting scope eyepieces are suitable for people who wear glasses, so the "B" designation is no longer used

      S
      Binoculars with mechanical image stabilisation

      M
      Riflescope models with ZEISS mounting rail.

      iC
      Riflescope with illumination control

      ED
      Extra low Dispersion = low chromatic aberrations

      HD
      High Definition. HD is not a type of lens. Instead it describes the result of the ED lenses: very good resolution

      HT
      High Transmission = lenses by SCHOTT with very good transmission properties.

      SF

      Smart Focus = Conventional binoculars require the focusing wheel to be turned 2.5 times in order to switch from the close focus to the maximum observation distance. The VICTORY SF only requires the wheel to be turned 1.8 times.
